| | GNU General Public License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL) is the most popular free software license, originally written by Richard Stallman for the GNU project (GNU itself is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix"). | | | Stallman's goal was to produce one license that could be used for any project, thus making it possible for many projects to share code. | | | In contrast, BSD-style licenses allow for derivative works to be redistributed as proprietary software. |

| | OSS Watch - The GNU General Public License - An Overview |
| | The GNU General Public License (GPL for short) is the most commonly used open source licence. | | | Also released in 1991, the Library (or Lesser) General Public License was released by the FSF, to deal with special cases in which it might be desirable for free software to interact closely with proprietary software. | | | This results from a misunderstanding of the way that such general licensing is intended to function. |

| | Open Source Initiative OSI - The LGPL: Licensing |
| | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. | | | This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. | | | Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. |

| | This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. | | | This is an aggregation of the the GNU General Public License and several commentaries. | | | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |

| | This Library General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. | | | Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. | | | This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license. |
