It was changed to be the "Lesser GNU Public License" at some point not all that long ago. Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html if you'd like to know why its name was changed. LGPL version 2 is the GNU Library General Public License. LGPL version 2.1 is the Lesser GNU Public License. The COPYING file in libgimp is the LGPL, version 2. The COPYING file in gtk+-1.2.6 is also the LGPL, version 2. Its becoming obvious to me that you just don't know what you're talking about. later, Andrew
