Not so fast. The original question involved perl, so there would be no linking involved. This is a matter of use, not derivation. At the very most, it's a matter of runtime linkage, which even the FSF says is beyond its right to regulate. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
