Re: Using a script licensed under GPL in an application licensed under a license that's not compatible with GPL

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   What does it mean to "link against" a script?  Linking is something
   you do with compiled programs, not scripts.

You can `link' script just fine, for example, you can use the `source'
command in bash.

   Anyway, it's possible that a case could be made tha his original
   plan would fall under the GPL's "mere aggregation" clause, which
   allows programs with different licenses to be distributed together
   with GPL programs.

As long as the program simply does fork/exec, this is true.  But the
OP explicitly states that he is `importing' the script into the
program.
