There is a template library called Eigen I would like to add to the tree. It |
2 |
is a dependency of an application I would like to add shortly. It will also |
3 |
end up being a dependency of KDE 4 (for kalzium). My question relates to the |
4 |
licence the code is released under. |
5 |
|
6 |
It is licenced under the GNU GPL, version 2 or later with the following |
7 |
exception, |
8 |
|
9 |
// As a special exception, if other files instantiate templates or use macros |
10 |
// or inline functions from this file, or you compile this file and link it |
11 |
// with other works to produce a work based on this file, this file does not |
12 |
// by itself cause the resulting work to be covered by the GNU General Public |
13 |
// License. This exception does not invalidate any other reasons why a work |
14 |
// based on this file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. |

Please see http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/ for more details. My question is |
17 |
whether this requires a new licence to be added to the tree, listing it under |
18 |
GPL-2 and then installing a copy of the modified licence or something I have |
19 |
not thought of? |
