I believe the choice of library to incorporate is an "original work of authorship". Linking a set of object files and libraries is analogous to creating an anthology in traditional literature.
You're never going to convince a court of that - the source which makes calls to the library is an original work of authorship but compilation is a purely mechanical act. The FSF is also talking about the runtime libraries which come with compiler, which no one makes a choice to use. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
