Sí, s'ha d'usar només per casos clarament estratègics. També en parla al llibre «Free Software, Free Society» http://www.gnu.org/doc/book13.html > el PDF > plana 29. «The GNU Library GPL The GNU C library uses a special kind of copyleft called the GNU Library General Public License, which gives permission to link proprietary software with thelibrary. Why make this exception? It is not a matter of principle; there is no principle that says proprietary software products are entitled to include our code. (Why contribute to a project predicated on refusing to share with us?) Using the LGPL for the C library, or for any library,is a matter of strategy. The C library does a generic job; every proprietary system or compiler comes with a C library. Therefore, to make our C library available only to free software would not have given free software any advantage—it would only have discouraged use of our library. One system is an exception to this: on the GNU system (and this includes GNU/Linux), the GNU C library is the only C library. So the distribution terms of the GNU C library determine whether it is possible to compile a proprietary program for the GNU system. There is no ethical reason to allow proprietary applications on the GNU system, but strategically it seems that disallowing them would do more to discourage use of the GNU system than to encourage development of free applications. That is why using the Library GPL is a good strategy for the C library. For other libraries, the strategic decision needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. When a library does a special job that can help write certain kinds of programs, then releasing it under the GPL, limiting it to free programs only, is a way of helping other free software developers, giving them an advantage against proprietary software.» -- Benjamí http://weblog.bitassa.net . ---------------------------------------------------------------- Podeu consultar els arxius d'aquesta llista o canviar la vostra subscripci� a http://www.softcatala.org/llistes/ ----------------------------------------------------------------
