- Linking jEdit statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
- combined work based on jEdit. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
- General Public License cover the whole combination.
- As a special exception, the copyright holders of jEdit give you
- permission to link jEdit with independent modules that communicate with
- jEdit solely through the plugin interface, regardless of the license
- terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the
- resulting combined work under terms of your choice, provided that
- every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a complete copy of
- the source code of jEdit (the version of jEdit used to produce the
- combined work), being distributed under the terms of the GNU General
- Public License plus this exception. An independent module is a module
- which is not derived from or based on jEdit.
- Note that people who make modified versions of jEdit are not obligated
- to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is
- their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
- permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
- exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which
- carries forward this exception.
