Hi All, I stumbled across this in the debian list archives and through I should clarify, as the author of the software in question.

It applies the standard LGPL and adds the following exception: # In addition, as a special exception, you are # given permission to link the code of this program with # non-LGPL Spelling Provider libraries (eg: a MSFT Office # spell checker backend) and distribute linked combinations including # the two. You must obey the GNU Lesser General Public License in all # respects for all of the code used other than said providers. If you modify # this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the # file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to # do so, delete this exception statement from your version. I'm no license lawyer so I chose the simplest, safest option and applied the same license as enchant itself to the bindings I produced. There are no extra restrictions, only extra permissions. Hope that helps fill in a few of the question marks. Cheers, Ryan -- Ryan Kelly http://www.rfk.id.au | This message is digitally signed.
