GPL = General Public Licence LGPL = Lesser General Public Licence The exact wording of respective licence can be found at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html Where you also can find FAQs for the licences, that explains the most common questions. If you just want to know what GPL/LGPL is, then the FAQ should be enough, but if you intend to interact with GPL/LGPL code on some sort of commercial basis, i would recommend that you got some proper legal advice from a solicitor before doing anything. mvh Kalle _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
