Follow-up Comment #33, task #16584 (group administration):
> Thank you. You are right, it's important to distinguish various cases > of distribution. What about the case we are discussing, distributing > unmodified source code? To talk about the case of distributing unmodified source code, since the LGPL is an additional text to the GPL license, we could check the GPL license, in the GPL license, there is: 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; "and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program." So the conclusion is conveying StoneValley library and add LGPL and GPL license to others. To explicitly show them the license. > I feel you should provide more details. What does "need to be > declared copyright" mean, other than that they should include > the legal notices? The GPL and LGPL are base on the copyright laws, if you register some work under your country's copyright protection institute, each item of this work needs to be declared copyright, it means the work itself should include a legal notice. Because copyright laws are differ from countries and districts. I can't give you a over-all description of copyright laws. In the U.S, you may refer to this(https://www.copyright.gov/) website. > The second and third point aren't easy. I don't think I really > have an idea how to fulfil them. Have you? > If not, I suggest using the deduction instead, and revisiting > the documentation I referred to. Neither I have an idea to fulfill them. I am not the GPL reviser, I can only follow the GPL and the documents you sent to me to find a reference. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?16584> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
