--------
	The case I talked about covered c++.  I was under the impression that
if you used the standard c++ libary from gnu then the rest of your
code is covered.  Or, for instance, if you have written an intelligent
front end that normally uses yacc (and thereby automatically includes
AT&T source code), and then you switch to the gnu equiv, you again
automatically are covered by the gnu agreement to publish code --
in this case, as I mentioned, someone else's code.
	There was no explicit copying of source code or explicit use
of it.  By merely compiling and linking with g++, it seems, you are
covered by the gnu agreement.  Is this not true?
