Perhaps (I'm not sure that I fully agree with that), but even if so, I think the consequences aren't serious because the DLL's we're talking about aren't normally distributed along with the program, but rather are expected to be part of the user's environment. > Whether this means the source code of the > compiled program must also be made available, I don't know. I don't see how it could, but again, we're not in the position of giving legal advice on this list. If somebody cares, they should get a legal opinion.
