[License-discuss] Who is the user in 6. b), LGPL v2.1

[VM (Vicky) Brasseur]

Hello!

If you haven't done so yet, you probably want to review the quite 
comprehensive FAQ that the FSF has for the GPL family of licenses:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

It provides in-depth answers (and reasons for those answers) for a large 
number of questions.
