When I was hoping and wishing for on Objective-C runtime from GNU
I got to thinking.


What kind of GNU protection will there be over the Objective-C 
runtime environment/library?

Will it be like gcc - if you modify and distribute you must make the
modification's source available, but if you compile a program with
it you can distribute that program for any cost w/o the source?

Or

Will it be like bison - if you use the runtime for your program you
must make the program's source freely available?

Or

Some where in between?


Hmm...
