Why pthreads-win32 did not use the GNU General Public License
The goal of the pthreads-win32 project has been to provide a quality and complete imple-
mentation of the POSIX threads API for Microsoft Windows within the limits imposed by
virtue of it being a stand-alone library and not linked directly to other POSIX compliant
libraries. For example, some functions and features, such as those based on POSIX signals,
are missing.
Pthreads-win32 is a library, available in several different versions depending on supported
compilers, and may be used as a dynamically linked module or a statically linked set of
binary modules. It is not an application on it's own.
