-<p>When maintaining an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, you may occasionally

+<p>As maintainer of an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, how do you use
+separately-published general-purpose free modules? (We also call them
+“libraries” because we are using them as libraries; it
doesn’t
+matter whether they are packaged as libraries or not.)
+</p>
+<p>It would be unreasonable to ask their authors to assign copyright to
+the FSF. They didn’t write those modules as contributions to GNU. We
+just happen to want to use them, as any developer might. It would be
+rude to ask developers, out of the blue, to give the FSF their
+copyright. Please don’t ask for that in cases like these.
+</p>
+<p>The proper way to use those modules is to link your package with them
+and say they are <em>not</em> part of your package. See below for the
+mechanics of this.
+</p>
+<p>To avoid present or future legal trouble, you must make sure the
+license of the module is compatible with current <em>and future</em> GPL
+versions. “GNU GPL version 3 or later” is good, and so is anything
+which includes permission for use under those GPL versions (including

+“LGPL version 2.1”, “GNU Affero GPL version 3 or
later”). Lax
+permissive licenses are ok too, since they are compatible with all GPL
+versions.
</p>
<p>“GPL version 2 only” is obviously unacceptable because it is
incompatible with GPL version 3. “GPL version 3 only” and
“GPL
version 2 or 3 only” have a subtler problem: they would be incompatible
with GPL version 4, if we ever make one, so the module would become an
obstacle to upgrading your package’s license to “GPL version 4 or
-later”.

the

6.7 External Libraries
======================
-When maintaining an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, you may occasionally
-want to use a general-purpose free software module which offers a useful
-functionality, as a "library" facility (though the module is not always
-packaged technically as a library).
-
- Make sure the license of the module is compatible with current _and
-future_ GPL versions. "GNU GPL version 3 or later" is good, and so is
-anything which includes permission for use under those GPL versions
-(including "GNU GPL version 2 or later", "LGPL version N or later",
-"LGPL version 2.1", "GNU Affero GPL version 3 or later"). Lax
-permissive licenses are ok too, since they are compatible with all GPL
-versions.
+As maintainer of an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, how do you use
+separately-published general-purpose free modules? (We also call them
+"libraries" because we are using them as libraries; it doesn't matter
+whether they are packaged as libraries or not.)
+
+ It would be unreasonable to ask their authors to assign copyright to
+the FSF. They didn't write those modules as contributions to GNU. We
+just happen to want to use them, as any developer might. It would be
+rude to ask developers, out of the blue, to give the FSF their
+copyright. Please don't ask for that in cases like these.
+
+ The proper way to use those modules is to link your package with them
+and say they are _not_ part of your package. See below for the
+mechanics of this.
+
+ To avoid present or future legal trouble, you must make sure the
+license of the module is compatible with current _and future_ GPL
+versions. "GNU GPL version 3 or later" is good, and so is anything
+which includes permission for use under those GPL versions (including
+"GNU GPL version 2 or later", "LGPL version N or later", "LGPL version
+2.1", "GNU Affero GPL version 3 or later"). Lax permissive licenses are
+ok too, since they are compatible with all GPL versions.
"GPL version 2 only" is obviously unacceptable because it is
incompatible with GPL version 3. "GPL version 3 only" and "GPL version
2 or 3 only" have a subtler problem: they would be incompatible with GPL
version 4, if we ever make one, so the module would become an obstacle
-to upgrading your package's license to "GPL version 4 or later".
+to upgrading your package's license to "GPL version 4 or later". Don't
+use such modules.
- One package you need to avoid is 'goffice', since it allows only GPL
+ One library you need to avoid is 'goffice', since it allows only GPL
versions 2 and 3.
- It would be unreasonable to ask the author of the external module to
-assign its copyright to the FSF. After all, person did not write it
-specifically as a contribution to your package, so it would be
-impertinent to ask, out of the blue, "Please give the FSF your
-copyright."
-
- So make your program use the module but without treating the module
-as a part of your program. There are two reasonable methods of doing
-this:
-
- 1. Assume the module is already installed on the system, and use it
- when linking your program. This is only reasonable if the module
- really has the form of a library.
-
- 2. Include the module in your package, putting the source in a
- separate subdirectory whose 'README' file says, "This is not part
- of the GNU FOO program, but is used with GNU FOO." Then set up your
- makefiles to build this module and link it into the executable.
-
- For this method, it is not necessary to treat the module as a
- library and make a '.a' file from it. You can link with the '.o'
- files directly in the usual manner.
+ So, here are the mechanics of how to arrange your package to use the
+unrelated free module.
+
+ 1. Assume the module is already installed on the system, and link with
+ it when linking your program. This is only reasonable if the
+ module really has the form of a library.
+
+ 2. Include the module in your package's distribution, putting the

+ is not part of the GNU FOO program, but is used with GNU FOO." Then
+ set up your makefiles to build this module and link it into the
+ executable.
+
+ With this method, it is not necessary to treat the module as a
+ library and make a '.a' file from it. You can link directly with
+ the '.o' files in the usual manner.
Both of these methods create an irregularity, and our lawyers have
-told us to minimize the amount of such irregularity. So consider using
-these methods only for general-purpose modules that were written for
-other programs and released separately for general use. For anything
-that was written as a contribution to your package, please get papers
-signed.

-<p>When maintaining an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, you may occasionally

-useful functionality, as a “library” facility (though the module is

-or later”). Lax permissive licenses are ok too, since they are
-compatible with all GPL versions.
+<p>As maintainer of an FSF-copyrighted GNU package, how do you use
+separately-published general-purpose free modules? (We also call them
+“libraries” because we are using them as libraries; it
doesn’t
+matter whether they are packaged as libraries or not.)
+</p>
+<p>It would be unreasonable to ask their authors to assign copyright to
+the FSF. They didn’t write those modules as contributions to GNU. We
+just happen to want to use them, as any developer might. It would be
+rude to ask developers, out of the blue, to give the FSF their
+copyright. Please don’t ask for that in cases like these.
+</p>
+<p>The proper way to use those modules is to link your package with them
+and say they are <em>not</em> part of your package. See below for the
+mechanics of this.
+</p>
+<p>To avoid present or future legal trouble, you must make sure the
+license of the module is compatible with current <em>and future</em> GPL
+versions. “GNU GPL version 3 or later” is good, and so is anything
+which includes permission for use under those GPL versions (including
+“GNU GPL version 2 or later”, “LGPL version <var>n</var> or
later”,
+“LGPL version 2.1”, “GNU Affero GPL version 3 or
later”). Lax
+permissive licenses are ok too, since they are compatible with all GPL
+versions.
</p>
<p>“GPL version 2 only” is obviously unacceptable because it is
incompatible with GPL version 3. “GPL version 3 only” and
“GPL
version 2 or 3 only” have a subtler problem: they would be incompatible
with GPL version 4, if we ever make one, so the module would become an
obstacle to upgrading your package’s license to “GPL version 4 or
-later”.

-<p>It would be unreasonable to ask the author of the external module to

-subdirectory whose <samp>README</samp> file says, “This is not part of
the
-GNU FOO program, but is used with GNU FOO.” Then set up your makefiles
-to build this module and link it into the executable.
-
-<p>For this method, it is not necessary to treat the module as a library
-and make a ‘<samp>.a</samp>’ file from it. You can link with the
‘<samp>.o</samp>’
