I am curious as to how you derived this conclusion that linking against GPL shared libraries makes your application GPL as well? If that's the case, shouldn't TiVo's entire application suite be GPL'ed since they link against the GPL licensed stdlib? Or what about the NVidia binary kernel modules? Since they link against the GPL kernel libraries to create a binary, shouldn't that binary be GPL? I think the issue of using and distributing GPL'ed code (i.e., making the Linux kernel part of your app) versus linking to a GPL'ed library is not nearly as clear cut as you described. -- Victor "I'm against animal testing.
