(Section 1 and 3 in the GPLv2).
Section 1 grants permission for verbatim copies. A combined work incorporating another work is not a verbatim copy of that work. So Section 1 is inapplicable. Section 3 grants permission to copy and distribute the licensed work in executable form, either the work itself or a work based on the program. A statically linked work containing the program is not the program, so the latter permission is needed. That permission is granted only if the work as a whole is licensed under the GPL. Unsurprisingly, the GPL works here exactly as intended.
And 'mere aggregation' clause
Your continued deliberate misreading of a clear term is invalid, as it always has been. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
