Additional permissions present the easier case.  We have licensed some of our

own software under GPLv2 with permissive exceptions that allow combination

with non-free code, and that allow removal of those permissions by downstream

recipients; similarly, LGPLv2.1 is in essence a permissive variant of GPLv2,

and it permits relicensing under the GPL.  We have generalized these

practices in section 7.  A licensee may remove any additional permission from

As subsection 7a explains, the effect of an additional permission depends on

LGPLv3 as as a model for developers wishing to license their works under the

has always allowed relicensing under the ordinary GPL.
