Still, that's much easier than building proprietary or dual licensed work on
top of GPL software. The FSF's interpretation is basically that anytime GPL
licensed code is integral to the functioning of the larger work (dynamic
linking, static linking, IPC, *anytime*) the larger work must be licensed
under the GPL, effectively forbidding proprietary or dual licensed works from
being built on it.
Note that Linus doesn't agree with that idea, which is why, for
example, the nvidia driver is allowed.
