Following what's left of this humongous thread, I add this question: Suppose I have a non-free program, and instead of linking one way or another or even directly running a fsf program, I type out:
"To do the required next step, please run the gnu program xyz. Here's how: xyz -foo -bletch 2386.2 "hello there" > xyz.out Thanks!" after which my program then reads in xyz.out and uses those xyz-produced results. How does THAT fly?
