	GNU General Public License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GPL was written by Richard Stallman for use with programs released as part of the GNU project.
		In some Common Law jurisdictions, the legal distinction between a license and a contract is an important one: contracts are enforceable by contract law, whereas the GPL, as a license, is enforced under the terms of copyright law.
		Critics of the GPL often describe it as being "viral", based on the GPL terms that all derived works must in turn be licensed under the GPL.

		GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
		For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
		Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

	Open Source Initiative OSI - The LGPL: Licensing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.
		Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
		For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

	GPLv3, 2nd discussion draft — GPLv3
		For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be associated erroneously with the original version.
		However, the fact that a key is generated based on the object code of the work or is present in hardware that limits its use does not alter the requirement to include it in the Corresponding Source.
		A license document containing a clause that permits relicensing or conveying under this License shall be treated as a list of additional permissions, provided that the license document makes clear that no requirement in it survives such relicensing or conveying.

	GNU General Public License
		Both licenses that have been considered here fall under this category, and as such should be considered a valuable resource and a great achievement for the intellectual development of the scientific and technological communities as a whole.
		A license can say that we will treat a certain kind of work as if it were not derivative, even if the courts think it is. The Lesser GPL does this in certain cases, in effect declining to use some of the power that the courts would give us.
		Royalty-Free CIFS Technical Reference License Agreement -- funny this is the first license that explicitly mentions GPL as IPR impairing license and discriminates against it in a way similar to GPL's discrimination of BSD works (you cannot use GPL code in BSD project without changing the license to GPL).

		GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), but occasionally we use other free software licenses.
		The GNU General Public License is often called the GNU GPL for short; it is used by most GNU programs, and by more than half of all free software packages.
		This license was formerly called the Library GPL, but we changed the name, because the old name encouraged people to use this license more often than it really ought to be used.
