I am sory to see that you did remove me from the Cc: list.... you are the first person at Debian who starts to think the right way... If you read the GPL again, you will find out that the GPL doeas not contein the term "linking". It is obvious that there is no difference between static and dynamic linking in terms of the GPL. So everything that is possible with dynamic linking is also possible with static linking. Linking a GPLd program against a non-GPLd library does not make the library a derived work of the GPLd program. You may either call this "mere aggregation" or in the worst case call the GPLd program a derived work of the library but not vice versa.
