Re: apache.make

[Richard Stallman]

    As a first step, I wrote an extension to the GNUstep make package which
    allows to write GNUstep-based Apache modules.  It is quite simple, being
    composed of a single apache.make file to be included in the GNUmakefile.

How does Apache communicate with a module?  Is it by linking,
or by fork-and-exec?  A subsequent message suggests that Apache
links them dynamically.

If these modules are linked with Apache, and if they also need to link
in GNUstep libraries, this raises a legal issue.  The Apache license
is incompatible with the GNU GPL.

I don't remember which license the GNUstep libraries use; could you
tell me?  If they use the GPL, they can't be linked with Apache.  If
they use the LGPL or another license that permits linking with
everything, then there is no obstacle.
