Given that the authors of the software are aware of the problem, wouldn't it be simply possible to modify the licence accordingly? So you end up with a software being distributed under GPL with the exception that it's explicitly allowed to distribute binaries linked against non-(L)GPL'ed open source libraries? How do companies distributing products based on FreeRADIUS handle this? That does seem like a problem to me. Do they deliver boxes with compiler and sources installed, with a startup- script that automatically starts compilation on the first power-up of the machine and then removes itself, so it's formally the customer who is compiling things? Seems ridiculuous to me ... Regards, Stefan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
