How much sense does this make anymore now that XForms is available under the LGPL? Does sense have anything to do with it? Do the FSF provide advice?
Angus What license applies to LyX? The LyX license is the GPL version 2 or above. In addition, as a special exception, the LyX Team gives permission to link the code of this program with the XForms library (or with modified versions of XForms that use the same license as XForms), and distribute linked combinations including the two. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than XForms. If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.
