Oh, that wasn't my point at all. If you take an executable compiled from unmodified GPLed sources and use LZEXE to produce a compressed executable (thereby directly including the binary code in the result), are you creating a derived work? If LZEXE had been proprietary, would distributing the compressed executable mean you had to distribute LZEXE source too? (Yes, of course I realise that this is a rather odd special case.) -- ams
