I am glad to see the draft GNU library license--it addresses many of my
problems with applying the more general GPL to runtime libraries.  Good job.

It occurs to me that on many platforms, it's even easier to comply
with it than it seems upon first reading, even for organizations that
are wary of distributing linkable object files for their products.  I can
foresee, for example, non-technical product managers who will decide that
this would be "like giving away the source code," even though it is clearly
not.  However, the new license seems ideal for platforms that support
shared libraries.  A dynamically-linked executable is by definition an
object file that is linked at run time, allowing the library to be replaced
as long as the external interface remains constant.

It might be worth mentioning this, to avoid having people make anti-GNU
knee-jerk reactions.
