LIBRARIES
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Each library used should be widely portbale and should lack
|
|
platform-dependent features. Components that are not written in standard
|
|
C/C++ or D should be disabled by default at compilation; only being
|
|
enabled by flags.
|
|
|
|
Note: libraries licensed under any version of the GNU GPL should be
|
|
avoided, due to the fact that these licenses require that the software
|
|
linking them is provided under the same terms. The LGPL is an exception, but
|
|
instructions for replacing the library with a different version must be
|
|
provided, as the LGPL requires that users can easily modify the LGPL code in
|
|
contrast to the common misconception that this license forbids static
|
|
linking. In general, copyleft and strongly reciprical licenses must be
|
|
avoided.
|
|
|
|
1.) Libraries should always be included as Git submodules.
|
|
2.) Libraries should only be included if writing the same functionality
|
|
would take an unreasonably long period of time.
|
|
3.) Libraries should be platform-agnostic, or they should at least provide
|
|
the ability to replace components with those required on a different system.
|
|
4.) All libraries must be disabled by default at compilation and must only
|
|
be enabled via compilation options.
|
|
|
|
Adding on, all contributions must be original and not be derived from
|
|
the work of another person, company, software, or any other entity that may
|
|
generate the content in question within this document.
|
|
|
|
Header files should only be used to declare functions.
