It is that "permit linking proprietary applications" phrase which is the rub. It doesn't mention static or dynamic, so one must assume both.
No. It does not matter what the GPL or the LGPL says unless there is a reason that the license should apply. When a program is linked dynamically against a library and is copied and distributed without that library, then the copyright license of the library is irrelevant because the library is not being copied and distributed. That is, when copying and distributing a program, the first thing to determine is which licenses apply. Only after that do you need to worry about what those licenses say. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
