Arabic Language |
|
Worldwide Internet use has grown tremendously in recent years, most rapidly in
non-English speaking regions especially in Arab world. For example, from 2000 to 2020,
the online populations in the Middle East grew by 9300%. Meanwhile, Arabic Web content
was estimated to be doubling every year. Such growth has created demand for better websites
developing resources in Arabic language. However, existing websites developing resources may
be unable to meet it because they primarily serve English-speaking users.

LGPL:
The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter can be
linked to (in the case of a library, 'used by') a non-(L)GPLed program, which
may be free software or proprietary software. This non-(L)GPLed program can
then be distributed under any chosen terms if it is not a derivative work.
