Please get a clue before calling others incorrect and "counter-productive". You are completely wrong. One thing is that you actually believe what you say, another is repeating it to others thoughtlessly, thereby propagating FUD. A quote from the GPL FAQ (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html): Q: You have a GPL'ed program that I'd like to link with my code to build a proprietary program. Does the fact that I link with your program mean I have to GPL my program? A: Yes. -- Henrik S.
