[Savannah-hackers] licensing issue

[Mathieu Roy]

Hi,

Someone want to register a project on Savannah with the following
licensing policy:

        The Tools will be GPL, while the Library would be LGPL with
        the following special exception :
        you may link, statically or dynamically, a \"work that uses
        the Library\" with a publicly distributed version of the
        Library to produce an executable file containing portions of
        the library, and distribute that executable file under terms
        of your choice, without any of the additional requirements
        listed in clause 6 of the GNU Library General Public License.
        By \"a publicly distributed version of the Library\", we mean
        either the unmodified Library as distributed by INRIA, or a
        modified version of the Library that is distributed under the
        conditions defined in clause 3 of the GNU Library General
        Public License.  This exception does not however invalidate
        any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by
        the GNU Library General Public License.

We asked for an advice to address@hidden several weeks ago, without
answer.

RMS, would you like to give an authoritative answer to us as soon as
possible?

Regards,
