Which in this case is feasable since it is a standalone files that can be include after stdlib. If we put that code in a seperate directory and have our include paths correctly setup then there is no problem at all in this case (if the memcpy was LGPL'ed). Besides, there is also the entire argument about run-time vs compile-time linking which is rather blurry in most cases > > When you start thinking about freedom you ultimately raise the question > about "freedom to take away the freedom"... and the MAME license takes away > the freedom to redistribute software, charging for it (IIRC). correct, but you meant redistributing modified versions under the mame name.
