I'm not sure if it that black and white. There's the exception clause for "system libraries"; as Motif is part of Unix9[58], and Linux is a variant of that in some regards, one could argue (and IIRC, RMS has argued) that linking against Motif is admissible. Also, would we be allowed to distribute e.g. LyX source-only under the GPL? Ray -- Cyberspace, a final frontier.
