+1 To summarize: Alan: Both dynamic and static linking triggers the GPL infection. That's utterly wrong. Hyman: Only static linking triggers the GPL infection (in the case of dynamic linking the GPL is irrelevant). That's also wrong. Right answer: Neither static linking nor dynamic linking triggers the GPL infection. regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
