スポットライト: On Developers and 科学(工学)技術
23 July 2001
On Licensing. This discussion began with a simple 願望(する): a grammar checker in OpenOffice.org. In phrasing the 願望(する), the community member raised the question about the interoperation of 解放する/自由な ソフトウェア licenses, 特に, the GPL, or GNU General Public License. OpenOffice.org code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and the Sun 産業 基準s Source License (SISSL). The difference in licensing makes for some incompatibility. To forestall 混乱, Michelle Milledge, one of OpenOffice.org's community 経営者/支配人s, 提案するd a FAQ that would 明らかにする the distinctions between the two licenses. すぐに, community members such as Gianluca Turconi and Gary Edwards, の中で many others, 現在のd carefully 推論する/理由d arguments on the licenses and what they mean, philosophically and 事実上.
