when in doubt, I use LGPL
Unfortunately Gustavo, it isn't that simple. :-) Take the fpGUI widget set I am working on. As it stands now, when you create applications using the fpGUI widget set, it compiles straight into you code, not as a separate linked library. This means, using the stock standard LGPL, nobody may write commercial (closed source) applications using the fpGUI widget set! This is stupid and not what I intended. I want the developer to use the fpGUI widget set as they please, but whatever they change or add to the widget set needs to be published. For this to work I had to use the Modified LGPL (as used by Lazarus and FPC) or use the MPL license. -- Graeme Geldenhuys There's no place like S34° 03.168' E018° 49.342' _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
