But *is* covered if it *does* use features specific to GNU getopt?

Can you (or anyone) cite references (announcements by FSF, whatever)
on this?  Specifically: is FSF claming that they have created
programming interfaces that are their (dare I say it) intellectual
property?

Do programs that use, say, libg++-specific constructs not available in
other C++ libraries, fall under the GPL even if distributed without
any material covered by the GPL?  How about perl scripts?

It would be nice if a representative of FSF could give an official
answer to this.
