CPL ensures that modifications to AGTK code remain open source, while
permitting commercial developers to retain all rights over their own
code which links to AGTK.  In other words, you can use AGTK in a
commercial product without permission of the copyright holders, but if
you modify AGTK code or AGTK interfaces you have to distribute those
modifications under the CPL.

Think of CPL as a non-infectious GPL.
