All hosts that want to use the library must be released with a
GPL-compatible license, which means "any license that doesn't pose
restrictions beyond those of the GPL". These are usually the LGPL and the
modified BSD license (and the GPL itself). In practice, the whole program
can only be distributed according to the terms of the GPL. This can "put
off" some developers. OTOH, this encourages adoption of the GPL ;-) .
See ya,
