A friend and I have been reading the GNU GPL licence and the library licence and, of course, we don't understand them. (We were doing this seperate the GPL discussion going on) Would someone be willing to clear up a question? Our reading of the licence indicates that all object code produced by GNU C, even if you don't use any GNU libraries, would be infected with the GPL. Obviously the FreeBSD team has a different interpretation. Can someone explain what that interpretation is?
