Follow-up Comment #4, bug #10419 (project wesnoth): > If not why do many autoconf macros contain a sentence as ...
Oops, I quoted a wrong license. I tried to quote "As a special exception, the respective Autoconf Macro's copyright owner gives unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify the configure scripts that are the output of Autoconf when processing the Macro. You need not follow the terms of the GNU General Public License when using or distributing such scripts, even though portions of the text of the Macro appear in them. The GNU General Public License (GPL) does govern all other use of the material that constitutes the Autoconf Macro." (e.g. from http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ac_define_path_style.html) which I have seen quite often. Why is there such an exception to the GPL if it doesn't apply (as Benoit thinks)? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?10419> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-bugs
