But what would FSF and RMS think of that?  If you've got separate processes
communicating using well defined interfaces, it is way to easy to (1) replace
some of the processes with proprietary components, and (2) use the GNU
components with proprietary programs.

The resulting flames would make the usual GPL vs. dynamic linking wars
trivial in comparision.  It's going to be fun.
