I've seen this same discussion many places. It seems to boil down to a few very simple questions: 1) What's the difference between the GPL and the LGPL? 2) If I use [gcc, bison, flex, g++,...] does my source code automatically have to fall under the GPL or LGPL? 3) Assuming the answer to 2) is no, what do I have to do to use FSF product XXX and still maintain my own copyright to my original source? The answers to these questions are obviously not well understood. I just read the "Re: Too Good to be True?" thread again and I've got no clue. These questions could be put to rest if someone who speaks officially for the FSF could answer these questions and put it in a FAQ which would be posted to this group. It would really help if the person who writes the answers has never read any kind of legal document. I think that most of use want a simple cookbook for using FSF products without violating any legal rules. Hayden
