Chris@0: 2005-08-09 : There is a certain amount of Chris@0: Chris@0: debate Chris@0: about whether non-GPL software can dynamically link to GPL libraries. Chris@0: I side with the FSF and assert that an executable dynamically linked Chris@0: to libsamplerate is a derivative work of libsamplerate and is Chris@0: therefore subject to the GNU GPL.
