The GPL is not a law. It a model license. When you distribute software under it you are stating terms which just happen to be identical to those used by Richard Stallman for Emacs. The terms are yours, and you can amend them as you see fit. > How can it be compatible with the GPL if the clause states that they can > link some non-GPL jars, yet the GPL states all the linked in libraries The exception amends the GPL, overriding anything in the GPL that it conflicts with. Again, the GPL is not a law. It is just a model license. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
