OK, now after trying to read 24958 Bytes of

OK, now after trying to read 24958 Bytes of GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, I still have no clue what is it all about. Can someone please answer me in plain English to these 2 simple questions:

1. Can I sell executable files that NASM produces?

2. Is it required that I distribute source code along the executable files that I make using NASM?

Thank you.

3. Can NASM be installed on computers in college?

If it's your own source code, Nasm claims *no* rights for processing it. You can do anything you want with it. (We hope you *will* distribute source, but it isn't required.)

If you "borrow" some code from Nasm - you'd have to "translate" it from C to asm - *then* the LGPL kicks in. I don't think you have to worry about it.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Best,
