This is a view not shared by many software companies. If your interpretation turns out to be correct, many companies will join the FSF for a copyright extension. However, the prevailing feeling right now is that dynamic linking already creates a derivative work. Still remember the times when the FSF was against interface copyrights? *sigh* _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
