I may be off the mark, but to me, part of the implied "question" (perhaps in an earlier post?) is whether a compiled program is a derivative work of the compiler? IANAL, but in my understanding it is not. It is, however, a derived work of the source code, IIUC. Randy Kramer -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
