Why is this even an issue? The GPL doesn't use the term "linking" except when talking about what license the author may want to choose. Anyways: it's legal for elisp code to have a GPL-incompatible license. However, it's not legal to distribute GPLed emacs with such code if that code is intended to be used with emacs to implement some program. -- Raul
