% 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...
