Hi,
Actually I disagree ;)
From reading below the question is "is it an independent and separate
work"? The GNU FAQ says its not:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins
Unfortunately, the FAQ is a FAQ and not the license.
True, as is your interpretation of it.
As you can see, this is someones
That someone being the FSF, not just anybody.
interpretation of a vague agreement,
just as mine is/was. Even the FAQ uses non-firm phrases like
"we believe", and 'borderline case', then there will be questions.
Aren't there ever in licenses? The real world is so much trickier than
protocol specs, and we all know how tough they can be.
And thats why those 'interpretable' statements were removed from GPL 3.
Still there's a lot of debate about it. :(
