Chapter 10. Introduction

This document stands for a documentation about plugins as used by Gaby; it is only useful for developers who want to quickly learn about Gaby. Those who have time should be better served reading code.

In cases where the code conflicts with this document the former wins.

10.1. Plugins licence

This is shamelessly copied from Gnumeric README.

The current plugin setup in Gaby is just a way to dynamically load code at runtime into the address space of Gaby: they use and invoke pieces of Gaby code directly. This means that any plugin written under this scheme has to fall under the license of the GNU GPL.

I agree there are other popular free licences (BSDish, Artistic, ...) and I'm not (at all) against them; I just want to respect GPL.
