The OP said that his program works without the GPLed scripts: | [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: | These GPL scripts are not necessary to use the application, they just | add more functionality. Which you turn into: | [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: | It also stops working without the GPLed library/script/whatever. Now that's a factual error, isn't it? Plus, you insist on using the word "deriviate", which does not exist in English, hence my reference to another word that ends in "-iate". > The rest of your message is just extrapolating what I wrote into > things that I didn't write, so it is futile to respond to it. You seem to argue that the OP's source code is a derivative work because it uses "#include" type statements. As a person making a living writing source code, I find that a very disturbing thought.
