- Why pthreads-win32 did not use the GNU General Public License
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- The goal of the pthreads-win32 project has been to
- provide a quality and complete implementation of the POSIX
- threads API for Microsoft Windows within the limits imposed
- by virtue of it being a stand-alone library and not
- linked directly to other POSIX compliant libraries. For
- example, some functions and features, such as those based
- on POSIX signals, are missing.
- Pthreads-win32 is a library, available in several different
- versions depending on supported compilers, and may be used
- as a dynamically linked module or a statically linked set of
- binary modules. It is not an application on it's own.
- It was fully intended that pthreads-win32 be usable with
- commercial software not covered by either the GPL or the LGPL
- licenses. Pthreads-win32 has many contributors to it's
- code base, many of whom have done so because they have
- used the library in commercial or proprietry software
- projects.
- Releasing pthreads-win32 under the LGPL ensures that the
- library can be used widely, while at the same time ensures
- that bug fixes and improvements to the pthreads-win32 code
- itself is returned to benefit all current and future users
- of the library.
- Although pthreads-win32 makes it possible for applications
- that use POSIX threads to be ported to Win32 platforms, the
- broader goal of the project is to encourage the use of open
- standards, and in particular, to make it just a little easier
- for developers writing Win32 applications to consider
- widening the potential market for their products.
