Talk:FOSS A General Introduction/Intellectual Property Rights and Licensing

Any plans to mention the LGPL?


 * Most of this page is a comment on the GPL's inability to link well with non-GPL programs. The LGPL fixes this issue.
 * The page mentions GNOME - actually, a lot of the library side (GTK+, for example) of GNOME is licensed under the LGPL. So, if I just use GTK+ and GLib, the claim "the entire application would have to be licensed under the GPL" is false.

 * If you are certain of the use of LGPL then you should correct the statement. I see no fault on your assertion if the facts are correct. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 00:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
