All programs, whether they are released under the GPL or LGPL, should include the text version of the GPL. In GNU programs the license is usually in a file called COPYING. "If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's important to include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand their rights." > I don't think we need to make any changes to ship a copy of the GPL along > COPYING.LIB. That's where I think we've been wrong in the past. I'll work up a patch.
