So, GPL FAQ on FSF web-site is worth reading. It represents their thought. * If a library is released under the GPL (not the LGPL), does that mean that any program which uses it has to be under the GPL? * Why are some GNU libraries released under the ordinary GPL rather than the Lesser GPL? * I am writing free software that uses non-free libraries. What legal issues come up if I use the GPL? -- Computer Systems Laboratory, Fujitsu Labs. kumon@flab.fujitsu.co.jp
