A combined work may be created only by license from the rights holders of the components. That's how GPL "contagion" works, and the various GPL and LGPL requirements on distributing source of other aggregated components are effective. However, a program which links dynamically to libraries upon being executed is not a combined work of those libraries while it is being copied and distributed, and therefore those libraries do not fall under the purview of the license(s) of the program. It is not a matter of having something both ways, it is a matter of knowing when copyright requirements apply and when they do not. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
