In hamlet Whom does the ghost exempt from his call for revenge and why?

Gertrude. I suppose he may have told Hamlet not to take revenge on Gertrude because the ghost still has affection for her, or because it would be particularly evil for a son to kill his mother, or because the ghost knows that Gertrude was not privy to Claudius's murder, and the murder is what he wants revenge for. Or some combination of these.
