However, the LGPL uses terminology that +is more appropriate for a program written in C than one written in +Lisp. Nevertheless, the LGPL can still be applied to a Lisp program if +certain clarifications are made. This document details those +clarifications. Accordingly, the license for the open-source Lisp +applications consists of this document plus the LGPL. Wherever there +is a conflict between this document and the LGPL, this document takes +precedence over the LGPL. + +A "Library" in Lisp is a collection of Lisp functions, data and +foreign modules. The form of the Library can be Lisp source code (for +processing by an interpreter) or object code (usually the result of +compilation of source code or built with some other +mechanisms). Foreign modules are object code in a form that can be +linked into a Lisp executable. When we speak of functions we do so in +the most general way to include, in addition, methods and unnamed +functions. Lisp "data" is also a general term that includes the data +structures resulting from defining Lisp classes. A Lisp application +may include the same set of Lisp objects as does a Library, but this +does not mean that the application is necessarily a "work based on the +Library" it contains. + +The Library consists of everything in the distribution file set before +any modifications are made to the files. If any of the functions or +classes in the Library are redefined in other files, then those +redefinitions ARE considered a work based on the Library. If +additional methods are added to generic functions in the Library, +those additional methods are NOT considered a work based on the +Library. If Library classes are subclassed, these subclasses are NOT +considered a work based on the Library. If the Library is modified to +explicitly call other functions that are neither part of Lisp itself +nor an available add-on module to Lisp, then the functions called by +the modified Library ARE considered a work based on the Library. The +goal is to ensure that the Library will compile and run without +getting undefined function errors. + +It is permitted to add proprietary source code to the Library, but it +must be done in a way such that the Library will still run without +that proprietary code present. Section 5 of the LGPL distinguishes +between the case of a library being dynamically linked at runtime and +one being statically linked at build time. Section 5 of the LGPL +states that the former results in an executable that is a "work that +uses the Library." Section 5 of the LGPL states that the latter +results in one that is a "derivative of the Library", which is +therefore covered by the LGPL. Since Lisp only offers one choice, +which is to link the Library into an executable at build time, we +declare that, for the purpose applying the LGPL to the Library, an +executable that results from linking a "work that uses the Library" +with the Library is considered a "work that uses the Library" and is +therefore NOT covered by the LGPL. + +Because of this declaration, section 6 of LGPL is not applicable to +the Library. However, in connection with each distribution of this +executable, you must also deliver, in accordance with the terms and +conditions of the LGPL, the source code of Library (or your derivative +thereof) that is incorporated into this executable. +
