No it doesn't. You can run programs with various licences alongside within the same computer without any issue, as long as they are in separate processes, which is what will happens anyway if you don't modify BRLTTY. > I'm sure folks may disagree that GPL prevents this, but that's why I > pay a lawyer to answer that for me...and they have. I guess there was a misunderstanding in the way then. There are a *lot* of shipped computers which run both GPL programs and proprietary programs. Never trust lawyers if there is any possibility that they don't understand your exact situation, because the precise details are very important, here the notion of process which clearly separates programs with different licenses.
