Anthony,

 it isn't "linking" that's "executing". It's the same as with MacPerl,
which doesn't link to the .pl files you give it to execute, it reads them
and executes them. At no time a part of FreeCard is merged into the
standalone. If this was considered linking, what would happen with gcc or
other GPLed compilers?

 The input and output of a GPLed program are not under the GPL, only
modifications. That's why it's a problem with standalones but not with
stacks. Stacks are considered output here.
