May I take a portion of the MapGuide Open Source code and use it to extend and improve another application?
Yes. You may freely modify, extend, and improve the MapGuide Open Source source code, either for use with MapGuide Open Source itself or in connection with another software application, as long as your extensions integrate with MapGuide Open Source through dynamic linking. Of course, if you distribute the modifications you must comply with the LGPL’s requirement that the changed source code be made freely available.
