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. - - It was fully intended that pthreads-win32 be usable with - commercial software not covered by either the GPL or the LGPL - licenses. Pthreads-win32 has many contributors to it's - code base, many of whom have done so because they have - used the library in commercial or proprietry software - projects. - - Releasing pthreads-win32 under the LGPL ensures that the - library can be used widely, while at the same time ensures - that bug fixes and improvements to the pthreads-win32 code - itself is returned to benefit all current and future users - of the library. - - Although pthreads-win32 makes it possible for applications - that use POSIX threads to be ported to Win32 platforms, the - broader goal of the project is to encourage the use of open - standards, and in particular, to make it just a little easier - for developers writing Win32 applications to consider - widening the potential market for their products. |
