copyright law would otherwise prohibit if the copyright holder exercised

his full permitted controls over the work.

In the effort to allow certain proprietary derivative works and prohibit

others, LGPL distinguishes between two classes of derivative works:

whether or not \worki{} is in fact a ``work based on the library'' is

warranted.

In short, a ``work based on the library'' could be defined as any

derivative work of LGPL'd software that cannot otherwise fit the

prescribed.

In our discussion of the definition of ``works that use the library,'' we

left out a few more complex details that relate to lower-level programming

of the details of the compilation progress.

Now that we have established a good working definition of works that

``use'' and works that ``are based on'' the library, we will consider the

almost all cases of distribution under LGPL, either \S 6(a) or \S 6(b) are

exercised.

Essentially, ``works based on the library'' must be distributed under the

same conditions as works under full GPL\@. In fact, we note that LGPL's
