Correct, it does, just like it permits C applications with GPL-incompatible licenses to link with GPL libraries, so long as this linking is done by the end user and the application is not distributed in its linked form. See for example the NVidia kernel module, or for a somewhat different but similar example, cdrtools. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
