Hum... should we add such an exception before exported
functions in the generated code ?
What should it read ?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is the output of Vtcl GPL'd? Sec. 0 of the GPL states:
"Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does."
GCC's output isn't considered GPL, is it? Bison clearly has a problem
because that copies a GPL'd file directly into the output, which is
dealt
with in this exception from bison.simple:
/* As a special exception, when this file is copied by Bison into a
Bison output file, you may use that output file without restriction.
This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation
in version 1.24 of Bison. */
Vtcl writes functions to its output that originated from GPL'd code.
And
Vtcl is doing this more and more to incorporate helper functions and add
features.
Without such an exception, my understanding is that vtcl cannot be used
for commercial development.
Robert
