Yes. You could additionally permit linking your own GPL-licensed packages with GPL-incompatible software (it's a separate question whether the license of that software allows linking with GPL-licensed works), but then your users wouldn't be able to combine GPL-licensed code of third parties with your package, because your permission wouldn't cover that code.

I figured. Just for my personal curiosity, does that mean that developing LaTeX packages (even if GPL-licensed) is a priori impossible on Savannah?

For this project, I guess I shall switch to my secondary choice of Gitlab, since Github has (in my opinion) become unacceptable for hosting free software. Is there another hosting place I am unaware of?

Best regards

We only host GPL-compatible software. LPPL is GPL-incompatible.

Registration Details


  • Name: Reminders
  • System Name:  latex-reminders
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later





Description:

The reminders package for the LaTeX typesetting system will provide, when it is finished, a way to include non-floating margin notes that appear in the exact (absolute) position in which the author called them, moving up and down automatically if they overlap with other margin notes or run off the page. This behaviour is of yet not available with the existing marginnotes and marginnotesplus packages.
The reminders package also provides a way to automagically include a reminder with reference to the definition when predefined mathematical terms or symbols are used on a page later than their definition.


Other Software Required:

LaTeX: LPPL, latex-project.org
pgfopts: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfopts
ifthen: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifthen
xparse: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/xparse
zref: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/zref
textpos: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/textpos
everypage: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/everypage


Other Comments:

This package is in very early development and not yet in a useable state.
