What I did understand is that you can dynamically link a GPL code with a GPL incompatible code, as long as it is the GPL app which is a derived work of the library and not the reverse. So, for example, you can link a GPL app against a proprietary libc. So it should be possible to link GPL apps (or even libraries) against non GPL libraries. You can not bundle the GPL app and the proprietary lib together however. I think that bundling together is a matter of interpretation, but what I have understood, for example is that they cannot be in the same tarball nor in the same srpm, but they can be in different tarballs on a CD. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
