However, the LGPL uses terminology that -is more appropriate for a program written in C than one written in -Lisp. Nevertheless, the LGPL can still be applied to a Lisp program if -certain clarifications are made. This document details those -clarifications. Accordingly, the license for the open-source Lisp -applications consists of this document plus the LGPL. Wherever there -is a conflict between this document and the LGPL, this document takes -precedence over the LGPL. - -A "Library" in Lisp is a collection of Lisp functions, data and -foreign modules. The form of the Library can be Lisp source code (for -processing by an interpreter) or object code (usually the result of -compilation of source code or built with some other -mechanisms). Foreign modules are object code in a form that can be -linked into a Lisp executable. When we speak of functions we do so in -the most general way to include, in addition, methods and unnamed -functions. Lisp "data" is also a general term that includes the data -structures resulting from defining Lisp classes. A Lisp application -may include the same set of Lisp objects as does a Library, but this -does not mean that the application is necessarily a "work based on the -Library" it contains. - -The Library consists of everything in the distribution file set before -any modifications are made to the files. If any of the functions or -classes in the Library are redefined in other files, then those -redefinitions ARE considered a work based on the Library. If -additional methods are added to generic functions in the Library, -those additional methods are NOT considered a work based on the -Library. If Library classes are subclassed, these subclasses are NOT -considered a work based on the Library. If the Library is modified to -explicitly call other functions that are neither part of Lisp itself -nor an available add-on module to Lisp, then the functions called by -the modified Library ARE considered a work based on the Library. The -goal is to ensure that the Library will compile and run without -getting undefined function errors. - -It is permitted to add proprietary source code to the Library, but it -must be done in a way such that the Library will still run without -that proprietary code present. Section 5 of the LGPL distinguishes -between the case of a library being dynamically linked at runtime and -one being statically linked at build time. Section 5 of the LGPL -states that the former results in an executable that is a "work that -uses the Library." Section 5 of the LGPL states that the latter -results in one that is a "derivative of the Library", which is -therefore covered by the LGPL. Since Lisp only offers one choice, -which is to link the Library into an executable at build time, we -declare that, for the purpose applying the LGPL to the Library, an -executable that results from linking a "work that uses the Library" -with the Library is considered a "work that uses the Library" and is -therefore NOT covered by the LGPL. - -Because of this declaration, section 6 of LGPL is not applicable to -the Library. However, in connection with each distribution of this -executable, you must also deliver, in accordance with the terms and -conditions of the LGPL, the source code of Library (or your derivative -thereof) that is incorporated into this executable. - -End of Document -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
