Distributing Autoconf Output

[excerpt from autoconf documentation]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration scripts that Autoconf produces are covered by the
|
|
|
|
|
GNU General Public License. This is because they consist almost
|
|
|
|
|
entirely of parts of Autoconf itself, rearranged somewhat, and Autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
is distributed under the terms of the GPL. As applied to Autoconf, the
|
|
|
|
|
GPL just means that you need to distribute `configure.in' along with
|
|
|
|
|
`configure'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programs that use Autoconf scripts to configure themselves do not
|
|
|
|
|
automatically come under the GPL. Distributing an Autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
configuration script as part of a program is considered to be *mere
|
|
|
|
|
aggregation* of that work with the Autoconf script. Such programs are
|
|
|
|
|
not derivative works based on Autoconf; only their configuration scripts
|
|
|
|
|
are. We still encourage software authors to distribute their work under
|
|
|
|
|
terms like those of the GPL, but doing so is not required to use
|
|
|
|
|
Autoconf.
