The program as you distribute it does not contain a copy of the dynamic library integrated into it, so it is not relevant that the library is used when the program runs. Since copyright restricts only the copying and distribution of covered works, you may distribute your program under the terms of the GPL even if it dynamically links to non-free libraries when executed. The system library exemption of the GPL never comes into play. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
