Hi all,
What is the difference between GPL + Harbour exception and LGPL?
I reckon LGPL wasn't nearly available when Harbour was born, so we
had to come up with our own solution, but since now LGPL is around,
shouldn't we consider switching our unique license to this standard one?
For me these look fundamentally the same, and I'm ready to
transition my own copyrighted material to LGPL if this thinking is
right. (of course I mean only current GPL+exception parts).
Using a standard license could probably help in the acceptance and
evaluation of this project by 3rd parties (even Linux distros).
Any opinions or insight on this?
The reason for the Harbour exception was so that we could include the
macro compiler inside distributed executables without violating the GPL.
