The first line of the LGPL is Everyone is permitted to copy and
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing
it is not allowed. I understand that this restriction is
intended to reduce license proliferation. So is the ELPA actually
allowed to add restrictions to the LGPL? If they want something
that's almost LGPL, but not quite, they surely have to write their
own license, with different wording. Timothy. |
