All the source files I checked in the librsvg implementation indicate they are licensed under the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL), but the reference manual contains this text (in rsvg-docs.sgml): The GNOME SVG Library (RSVG) is library for rendering SVG and SVGZ files. RSVG is released under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), which allows for flexible licensing of client applications. Is that just a typo? Especially the part about "flexible licensing" suggests that the paragraph was intended to read as: The GNOME SVG Library (RSVG) is library for rendering SVG and SVGZ files. RSVG is released under the GNU Library General Public License (GNU LGPL), which allows for flexible licensing of client applications. -Carl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
