- GNU LGPL 2.1 §5-§6 (February 1999): a program designed to be compiled or linked with the Library is, in isolation, outside the licence, but a linked executable is covered. Such a combined work may be distributed under terms of the distributor's choice provided those terms permit modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications; each copy must carry prominent notice that the Library is used and is covered by the LGPL, include a copy of the licence, and meet one of §6(a)-(e), such as shipping the Library source or using a suitable shared-library mechanism (§6(b)).
- Applies when
