THE EXCEPTION

As a special exception, the author of this
Scripting Language Development Tool gives
permission for additional uses of the text
contained in this Scripting Language Development
Tool.

The exception is that, if you reference the LSLDTL
licensed software (hereafter called "The Tool)
from other files (hereafter called "Files Using
The Tool"), by use of inclusion via a Perl "use"
or "require" statement, a Ruby "requirement, a
Python "import" statement, or similar, this does
not by itself cause the Files Using The Tool to be
covered by the GNU General Public License. Your
use of the Files Using The Tool is in no way
restricted on account of their referencing code in
The Tool.  The Tool itself is licensed GNU GPL
version 2, regardless of what files import it.

If you link The Tool with other files to produce
an executable, this does not by itself cause the
resulting executable to be covered by the GNU
General Public License.  Your use of that
executable is in no way restricted on account of
linking The Tool's code into it. 


EXCEPTION LIMITATIONS

This exception does not however invalidate any
other reasons why the referencing files, or any
produced executables, might be covered by the GNU
General Public License.

This exception applies only to the code released
by its author under the Litt Scripting Language
Development Tools License.  Such code must clearly
state that it's covered by the Litt Scripting
Language Development Tools License. If you copy
code from other GNU-GPL compatible software, as
the General Public License permits, the exception
does not apply to the code that you add in this
way. To avoid misleading anyone as to the status
of such modified files, you must delete this
exception notice from them.

If you write modifications of your own for
software licensed under the Litt Scripting
Language Development Tools License, it is your
choice whether to permit this exception to apply
to your modifications. If you do not wish that,
delete this exception notice. 

This exception cannot be applied to software whose
license, End User License Agreement, or Terms Of
Use limit reverse engineering or discussion about
the software. This exception cannot be applied to
software incorporating any type of software
patents.


THE EXCEPTION TO THE EXCEPTION

The intent of the Litt Scripting Language
Development Tools License (LSLDTL) is to produce a
free software development environment enabling a
software developer to create free software,
nonfree software, or proprietary software.
Therefore, all of the resulting program's software
development features must be contained in the
LPDTL licensed software, or in GPL licensed
software. It is a violation of the LPDTL to place
any software development features in any file not
licensed under either the GPL or the LPDTL.

A "software development feature" is a feature
enabling creation or modification of software.
