I am sorry that I confused some of you. My answer was not that clear, hopefully with this reply it is a bit clearer. The FSF makes a clear distinction. In the case of a library or so it can be integrated, like it was done with LZO. The A20 code is not a library. To put a lot of code from all kinds of projects in separate files is not what I prefer.
