And statically linked executables, since that made it into the
Policy wording; or possibly, dynamically linked ones that
incorporate static libraries from other packages… or Haskell…
I think there may be a can of worms or two.
I’ve read about the toolchain/-source issues, indeed, but I’m
wondering a bit whether a hypothetical statically linked
executable from only BSD-licenced sources would need Built-Using
(as per current Policy: yes, even though the licences don’t
mandate “complete” source availability like the GPL does).
Anyway, this probably won’t help us, so I won’t go on with
that direction of thought any more.
Thanks,
