| Summary | 0003308: Include a copy of the GNU GPL license, regardless of release under the GNU LGPL |
| Description | Quote from The GNU Project
All programs, whether they are released under the GPL or LGPL, should include the text version of the GPL.
Quote from The GNU Project
If you are releasing your program under the Lesser GPL, you should also include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's crucial to include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand their rights.
Can I, please? The intent is GPLv2 text. |

I'll hold this off until 0003295 is resolved, because of Windows installs. |

I'm going to refrain from doing this change after all, because the LGPLv2.1 license text is the full license. Only the LGPLv3 license (being a "slim" license) requires having a copy of GPLv3 handy, to understand what exceptions are being granted.

Actually, I can't decide for myself.
The LGPLv2.1 still talks a lot about "ordinary General Public License". Should we do it anyway, as courtesy? |
