I can't really understand why vapi's of libraries of which we can't be sure they are GPL are GPL licensed themselves. In my opinion it would make more sense to use a MIT, X11 or BSD license on, say, the POSIX vapi. But I'm not sure this is required. I seem to recall that you are allowed to use GPL licensed headers/libraries if the API that is implemented is a default system interface... But IANAL. :-) -- Ed Schouten <[email protected]> WWW: http://80386.nl/
