As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives permission

for additional uses of the text contained in its release of GUILE.
|
|
|
|
The exception is that, if you link the GUILE library with other files to
|
|
produce an executable, this does not by itself cause the resulting
|
|
executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. Your use of
|
|
that executable is in no way restricted on account of linking the GUILE
|
|
library code into it.
|
|
|
|
This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the
|
|
executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
This exception applies only to the code released by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation under the name GUILE. If you copy code from other Free
|
|
Software Foundation releases into a copy of GUILE, as the General Public
|
|
License permits, the exception does not apply to the code that you add
|
|
in this way. To avoid misleading anyone as to the status of such
|
|
modified files, you must delete this exception notice from them.
|
|
|
|
If you write modifications of your own for GUILE, it is your choice
|
|
whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications. If you
|
|
do not wish that, delete this exception notice.
