Without my knowing it, he links them with the GNU C library and re-sells to someone else (say I get a royalty). Now, you claim, he is responsible for providing source to my libraries which I never gave him in the first place. So am I now legally responsible for something he did? This is absurd. If you are right, I can not believe it would hold legal ground. -bill
