- [ The below explicit exemption, we hope, clears up the GIMP
- developers' position concerning an ambiguity with the GNU General
- Public License concerning what constitutes a 'mere aggregation'
- versus a combined or derived work. The intention is to make it
- clear that arbitrarily-licensed programs such as GIMP plug-ins do
- not automatically assume the GNU General Public License (GPL)
- themselves simply because of their invokation of (or by) procedures
- implemented in GPL-licensed code, via libgimp or a similar interface
- to methods provided by the pdb: ]
- * If you create a program which invokes (or provides) methods within
- (or for) the GPL GIMP application core through the medium of libgimp
- or another implementation of the 'procedural database' (pdb) serial
- protocol, then the GIMP developers' position is that this is a 'mere
- aggregation' of the program invoking the method and the program
- implementing the method as per section 2 of the GNU General Public
- License.
- * 'libgimp' and the other GIMP libraries are licensed under the
- GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE -- see the 'COPYING' file in the
- libgimp directory for details.
