Re: [Dev-C++] more licensing

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Notice the _very_ big difference between GPL and LGPL. The library is
using the LGBL (formerly known as Library GPL, now Lesser GPL).

So, there isn't a problem with the GNU library. LGPL doesn't have the
"black-hole" properties of the GPL licence, dragging everything into
GPL licences.
