License Mixing with apps, libcurl and Third Party Libraries

===========================================================

libcurl can be built to use a fair amount of various third party libraries,

libraries that are written and provided by other parties that are distributed

using their own licenses. Even libcurl itself contains code that may cause

problems to some. This document attempts to describe what licenses libcurl and

the other libraries use and what possible dilemmas linking and mixing them all

can lead to for end users.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice!

One common dilemma is that GPL[1]-licensed code is not allowed to be linked

with code licensed under the Original BSD license (with the announcement

clause). You may still build your own copies that use them all, but

distributing them as binaries would be to violate the GPL license - unless you

accompany your license with an exception[2]. This particular problem was

addressed when the Modified BSD license was created, which does not have the

announcement clause that collides with GPL.
