The flaw is not in copyright law. The flaw is in your interpretation of copyright law as forbidding certain things which it actually permits. The GPL is irrelevant; the interoperability which you believe is forbidden is in fact legal with any other program, regardless of its copyright, because there is no copying of the other program involved. You may make GCC code generators, Excel add-ins, Vista screen savers, or what have you without needing to be concerned with the copyrights of those other programs. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
