Can anyone give me any help on finding information on how the LGPL applies to interpeted languages where there is no 'object' to be linked; and no library files from which to import 'material from a header file that is part of a library' (LGPL Clause 5)? We are using PHP, an interpreted language. Libraries aren't really called. But we do make calls to 'objects' (not compiled object files, but code in human readable form that has functions). This call to external objects might be analagous to calls to a library as defined in LGPL V 2: 'A collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs . . .' But the definition continues: '. . . to form executables.' (LPGP clause 0). Now, we are not forming executables; I was taught and understand that term to mean compiled and linked binaries. How can the LGPL apply in interpreted language situations such as this? ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Howard Merry EastCore, Inc. - http://www.eastcore.net ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- "The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law" -The GNU Lesser General Publc License (LGPL) -http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
