I read that one thread. I don't see specific example. Hmmm. I wonder about GNU Emacs being used on operating systems years before needed GNU libraries even existed. (I guess I should read that old license in my old GNU Emacs comb-bound manual on my shelf.) This is quite confusing, since FSF code itself is provided for using with non-GPL'd libraries. Even GLIBC used old 4.4BSD code (and headers). > In short.... "Yes, such things have occured". The OpenSSL fracas is > just one of the more memorable cases. There have been a number of > others. I don't see how this applies to the OpenSSL issue where some code was not really open source. Do you have any specific examples of a problem with linking against the libraries? Isn't the GPL fun?
