<h2><a name="19"></a>2.13. Will my applications be affected by the GPL?</h2>
|
|
<p>No, the
|
|
<a href="harbour17.html#HarbourException">Harbour exception</a> seeks to ensure
|
|
that, when you build an application with Harbour, compiling with the Harbour
|
|
compiler and linking against the HVM and RTL, your rights to licence your
|
|
own code are not in any way affected.</p>
|
|
<p>Harbour's licence is there to try and protect the freedom offered by the
|
|
Harbour developers. Harbour's licence isn't there to try and force you to
|
|
choose a specific licence.</p>
|
|
<p>Be assured that it isn't the intention of the
|
|
<a href="harbour9.html#WhoDevelopers">Harbour developers</a> that your applications will have to be released
|
|
as <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>. Supporting free software would be the right thing to do but the
|
|
Harbour developers have decided not to insist on this; we think it is more
|
|
useful in this situation to set up Harbour's license so that it does not
|
|
make any conditions on the status of your work that was built with and
|
|
against Harbour.</p>
|
|
<p>As always, don't take anyone else's word for this stuff, when in doubt, read
|
|
the licence. If you're still in doubt pay someone who knows what they are
|
|
doing to read the licence for you. Hopefully you do this with licences for
|
|
your other development tools, Harbour is no different, it has a licence that
|
|
you need to understand.</p>
