Better, piss off and go read the book.
It appears that I am _already_ pissing you off. Anyway: his shareware contains GPLed parts then, and I don't see how the user can modify, improve and distribute those parts while retaining a working executable. Even if shared libraries were used, he can't, for example, choose to change the call interface in order to get better performance. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
