Nicolas, to dive more into this issue of Linking, you may have a look at http://www.ifosslr.org/ifosslr/article/view/44/74 and more specifically the PDF attached (can't remember the URL of this one).
However, as Sam noted, the Linking exception is not in the standard GPL, but an additional licensing clause added by the licensor. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception for a rough overview. ↪ 2015-09-23 Wed 17:11, Sam Liddicott <[email protected]>: > > Of course the license also covers distribution of works, not development. Technically, the GPL covers all works “based on the [GPL] program” so it does cover developped works and not just the distribution of such works. Of course, the main obligations arise when you distribute such covered software which is why a lot of the focus is on distribution.
