OK. >> Is Julius dynamically linked to Simon? I wonder whether GPLv2 is >> compatible with the Julius license. > Yes it is.

Can you point to one file that has the conditions? All source code files that are built into a package linked to Julius needs to have the exception, I believe, otherwise the file is under the GPLv2+ only without the exception. Also, any external GPL code that Simon links to needs to have the same exception. Is there any external GPL code? /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
