lazarus Package the problems in the license
from Wikipedia
""""
, including
GPL,
LGPL,
MPL
, and a modified version of LGPL.
Specifically, the LCL, which is statically built into the produced executables, is licensed under a modified version of the LGPL, granting extra permissions
to allow it to be statically built into the produced software, including
proprietary
ones.
Note that installing a
design-time
package is equivalent to linking to the IDE. Thus, distributing the Lazarus IDE with a GPL-incompatible design-time package (e.g. the
JEDI
packages, which are licensed under the
Mozilla Public License
) pre-installed would cause a license violation.
What's up with the crazy newlines?
