While our primary goal is to write software for the GNU system, many +users and developers have been introduced to us through the systems that they +were already using. +Gnulib is a central location for common GNU code, intended to be shared among +GNU packages. GCC has libiberty, but this is hard to disentangle from the GCC +build tree. +Gnulib takes a different approach. Its components are intended to be shared at +the source level, rather than being a library that gets built, installed, and +linked against. Thus, there is no distribution tarball; the idea is to copy +files from Gnulib into your own source tree. +Gnulib also includes copies of a few files purely for convenience: the GNU +coding standards, the GNU maintainer information, the GPL and other licenses (in +Texinfo), assorted configuration scripts, and more. The goal is to provide all +the common infrastructure needed by GNU packages.''' + +__copyright__ = '2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.' +__author__ = 'Dmitriy Selyutin' +__license__ = 'GNU GPLv3+' + |
