The FLTK library and included programs are provided under the terms +of the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL) with the following +exceptions:

+ +
    + +
  1. Modifications to the FLTK configure script, config + header file, and makefiles by themselves to support + a specific platform do not constitute a modified or + derivative work.
    +
    + The authors do request that such modifications be + contributed to the FLTK project - send all + contributions to "fltk-bugs@fltk.org".

  2. Widgets that are subclassed from FLTK widgets do not + constitute a derivative work.
    +
    +
    3. + +
  3. Static linking of applications and widgets to the + FLTK library does not constitute a derivative work + and does not require the author to provide source + code for the application or widget, use the shared + FLTK libraries, or link their applications or + widgets against a user-supplied version of FLTK.
    +
    + If you link the application or widget to a modified + version of FLTK, then the changes to FLTK must be + provided under the terms of the LGPL in sections + 1, 2, and 4.
    +
    +
    4. + +
  4. You do not have to provide a copy of the FLTK license + with programs that are linked to the FLTK library, nor + do you have to identify the FLTK license in your + program or documentation as required by section 6 + of the LGPL.
    +
    + However, programs must still identify their use of FLTK. + The following example statement can be included in user + documentation to satisfy this requirement:
