Actually, I don't think you can legally distribute a product that is
already linked to the DOC code. Of course, I do need to throw out the
standard disclaimer that I am not a lawyer. But my understanding from
reading the GPL license is that one can distribute the whole product setup
under the GPL, or one can distribute the seperated items with only the GPL
appltying to the portions already GPLed.
I would guess the way arround this is to have some automated process which
links in the properiatary code at install time. That would appear to be
what is going on with the Lineo distribution as described by others. The
system gets put together on the fly based on the options you choose. Ion
that manner the DOC code would remain seperate until it hit your site. Of
course that would never be a stated reason for doing it that way. The
stated reason would surely be that it allows more flexibility and smaller
code size.
