After takin' a swig o' grog, Tim Smith belched out this bit o' wisdom:

Writing source code that can call functions from a library does not involve copying the library.

No, but linking to it does.

The GPL *allows* a library to be loaded into memory and subsequently
executed (i.e. glibc.so.xxx). So how does "linking" (call [a routine]
and return) to that code violate anything?
