Hi everyone,

In light of the recent discussions about the Apple iTunes issue..

I think the GNU GPL does not allow distributing an object binary (i.e. closed 
source software) that can be linked with a free GPLd (or even LGPLd?) library 
to form an executable.. Does that not seem unfair? After all the distributers 
are not actually breaking the law by running tainted code but are only 
providing the means (tools) for others to do the same easily. So shouldn't 
*truly free* software not have this restriction?

- AJ
