Debating whether GPL-compatibility can legitimately affect dynamic linking every time a GPL compatibility issue comes up is a repetitive waste of time, and will not help resolve the issue at all. If you want to start a thread discussing it, go ahead, but all you're doing right now is subverting the XFree86 thread. > > It's interesting to look at how the FSF's position on this evolved > > from "We need this to be the case" to "This is the case" -- check out > > /usr/share/doc/clisp, for example.

As was pointed out, go read the archives on the GFDL issue. I don't trust the FSF when they call something "free" anymore; they've lost their credibility. I doubt I'm alone. Claiming that d-legal people don't use their own judgement when evaluating statements from the FSF is completely baseless. -- Glenn Maynard
