Ah.. that'd be why I couldn't see any restrictions then ;) Doesn't this allow a loophole for people to ship code linked against some non GPL proprietary stub which matches the interface of the GPL library.. then tell the users to get / replace that stub with the GPL lib? (Or provide them a shell script which did that?) (Trick probably being to come up with such a stub in a non-derivative way of course). Anyway, perhaps I'm drifting too far off topic here.. I think the original query was answered. > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > geda-user@moria.seul.org > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
