The FSF interpretation of the GPL is that code that interfaces to a library already does count as derivated work, so putting the interface code under a license not compatible to the GPL is already a license violation. I agree with this interpretation as anything else would render the difference between the GPL and the LGPL mostly useless. -- Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@six.de http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77
