in the early days there was no dynamic linking, so all the early GNU

These "early day" precede the creation of the Apache license or GPLv2
by many years.
Certainly not the GPLv2 (1991). GPLv3 (2007) maybe. This seems to be the
oldest converted to Git and reachable from the 2.5 and 2.6 carrying
branches:
I think Gert wanted to say that the days before dynamic libraries were
not invented yet and every was linked statically was well before the GPL.
