Re: Releasing software with a GTK front end

[Jan-Marek Glogowski <glogow fbihome de>]

Quote from the Gtk+ page:

"GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing
terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers,
including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees
or royalties."

IANAL - the following is the way I think most people understand the LGPL:

1. Changes you do to the Gtk+ / LGPL source must be published!
2. A changed lib has to be marked, so its distinguishable from the
   original
3. You have to deliver your software including the sources of the Gtk+
   library version your product uses
4. "About" - (may / must ?) include something like "developed with Gtk+"
5. You have to use the dynamic version - static linking is prohibited

That's it - for more information: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html

Anything I forgot?
