Every single one of -those macros can be re-used without imposing any restrictions whatsoever -on the licensing of the generated configure script. In particular, it is -possible to use all those macros in configure scripts that are meant for -non-free software. This policy is unusual for a Free Software Foundation -project. The FSF firmly believes that software ought to be free, and -software licenses like the GPL are specifically designed to ensure that -derivative work based on free software must be free as well. In case of -Autoconf, however, an exception has been made, because Autoconf is at -such a pivotal position in the software development tool chain that the -benefits from having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh -the disadvantage that some authors may choose to use it, too, for -proprietary software. |
