The libfreefare LGPL Exception Text:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Any libfreefare source code, whether modified or in it's original
|
||||||
|
release form, or whether in whole or in part, can only be distributed by
|
||||||
|
you under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License plus this
|
||||||
|
exception. An independent module is a module which is not derived from
|
||||||
|
or based on the libfreefare.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clause 1:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Linking the libfreefare statically or dynamically with other modules is
|
||||||
|
making a combined work based on the libfreefare. Thus, the terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions of the GNU Lesser General Public License cover the whole
|
||||||
|
combination.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As a special exception, the copyright holder of the libfreefare gives
|
||||||
|
you permission to link the libfreefare with independent modules that
|
||||||
|
communicate with the libfreefare solely through the libfreefare API
|
||||||
|
interface, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
|
||||||
|
and to copy and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of
|
||||||
|
your choice, provided that:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a written
|
||||||
|
statement that details to the recipient the version of the
|
||||||
|
libfreefare used and an offer by yourself to provide the libfreefare
|
||||||
|
source code (including any modifications you may have made) should
|
||||||
|
the recipient request it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The independent modules add significant and primary functionality to
|
||||||
|
the libfreefare and do not merely extend the existing functionality
|
||||||
|
already present in the libfreefare.
