Hence, in the GNU Republic, linking creates a "derived work" (see the GNU Copyleft Act) akin to (quoting renowned GNUtian Alan Mackenzie) "embryo which is derived from the egg and sperm." Accordingly, GNUtians believe that linking is akin to sex without condoms (and that it is not oral or anal) resulting in 100% rate of embryo (partner is a side effect) contamination by the GPL virus. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
