Libsigc++ and gtkmm are released under the LGPL which you can find on http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#LGPL. In short, it comes down to the following: you can use gtkmm/libsigc++ in code for which you provide no source if you give the users of the code the opportunity to change the part that is LGPL (ie, gtkmm/libsigc++). You can do this for example by using gtkmm/libsigc++ as shared libraries (.so on Unix, .dll on Windows) or by providing object code to your program so that users can re-link with modified versions of the LGPL code.

I was just playing around on sourgeforge and found the http://sourceforge.net/projects/glib-bind. Part of this project is libpropc++ and in its documentation (http://ex-code.com/propcpp/PR-short.html) says: Libpropc++ provides a partial reimplementation of libsigc++. Use this reimplementation if you want to use libpropc++ to write commercial software because the license of libsigc++ requires any software using libsigc++ to be open source. Is this statement true? Becouse i don't use gtkmm/sigc++ to develop open source software, and on http://gtkmm.org/license.shtml says: Note that this license does not require you to release the source code of your own applications or libraries and does not require you to pay any fees. I am realy confused now. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
