=======
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.
For some people, it is not clear, what is the real intention of the
author by using the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) as the
distribution license for GNU Pth. This is, because the LGPL and the
GPL can be (and are often) interpreted very differently and some
interpretations seem to be not compatible with others. So an explicit
clarification for the use of the LGPL for GNU Pth from the authors
point of view might be useful.
The author places this library under the LGPL to make sure that it
can be used both commercially and non-commercially provided that
modifications to the code base are always donated back to the official
code base under the same license conditions. Please keep in mind that
especially using this library in code not staying under the GPL or
the LGPL _is_ allowed and that any taint or license creap into code
that uses the library is not the authors intention. It is just the
case that _including_ this library into the source tree of other
applications is a little bit more inconvinient because of the LGPL.
But it has to be this way for good reasons. And keep in mind that
inconvinient doesn't mean not allowed or even impossible.
Even if you want to use this library in some BSD-style licensed
packages, this _is_ possible as long as you are a little bit
carefully. Usually this means you have to make sure that the code is
still clearly separated into the source tree and that modifications to
this source area are done under the conditions of the LGPL. Read below
for more details on the conditions. Contact the author if you have
more questions.
