Does the generated code contain significant fractions of protected elements of the library itself? If not the generated code is a mechanical transformation of the input and so only the license on the input applies. Even if elements of the library are in the generated code you can apply a different license to them than to the library. The Gcc license does exactly that. -- John Hasler j...@dhh.gt.org Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
