The LGPL allows you to use MapGuide Open Source software on a standalone basis or as a component of your applications, provided that if you link your proprietary software to MapGuide Open Source, you do so using dynamic linking. You may make unlimited copies of MapGuide Open Source and distribute unlimited copies of the software without payment of any royalties or license fees. And, as with any open source license, you are free to make enhancements and modifications to MapGuide Open Source. The LGPL does not require you to share the source code of your enhancements unless you distribute changed versions of MapGuide Open Source to third parties. However, if you distribute your changed versions to others, you must make the changed source code available to parties to whom you distribute your changed versions under the LGPL.
