Hi,
I could use a plain English translation of the LGPL:
If I chose to take the AWT from ClassPath and
modify it for my own VM, are the following statements
true according to the LGPL?
- I cannot charge a license fee for using my VM
because of the modified AWT.
- the modified AWT source must be made available
to the end user (e.g. cannot just send class files).
- the rest of the VM and class packages that don't
relate to the modified AWT do not fall under the
same LGPL (i.e. can be private).
- any Java app that uses the modified AWT is also
not covered under that same LGPL (i.e. can be
private).
Sound right or wrong?
Thanks!
Brad
