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...

Never begin an argument from a reasonable position.

As late as Jan 21, FSF had not yet decided.

Best to get the info straight from them, though, rather than to  
speculate on what they will do!

(And please cross post any decisions from FSF if they aren't cross  
posted already)
