The GNU General Public License, or <quote>GPL</quote>.
|
||||||
|
This license is not quite as popular with us due to the
|
||||||
|
amount of extra effort demanded of anyone using the code
|
||||||
|
for commercial purposes, but given the sheer quantity of
|
||||||
|
GPL'd code we currently require (compiler, assembler, text
|
||||||
|
formatter, etc) it would be silly to refuse additional
|
||||||
|
contributions under this license. Code under the GPL also
|
||||||
|
goes into a different part of the tree, that being
|
||||||
|
<filename>/sys/gnu</filename> or
|
||||||
|
<filename>/usr/src/gnu</filename>, and
|
||||||
|
is therefore easily identifiable to anyone for whom the
|
||||||
|
GPL presents a problem.</para>
