For example, if I have a program that uses a GPL library, but could just as well have used a LGPL of non-free library, possibly with a slight api change, is it derived work or not? (I have a debate of which mathematical libraries to use at the moment). If I spilt the API into a module and bundle one that works with the GPL code and one with the non-GPL code thus giving the option for both of them, does that matter? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
