[Pkg-pascal-devel] Dual license of TRegXepr class library?

[Paul Gevers]

Hi Андрей,

Just to be absolutely clear, FPC has the following exception added to
the LPGL:

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent
modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms
of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent
module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An
independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on
this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception
to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If
you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

You also agree with that addition?

Paul
