Ah hah! This is quite different than RMS's interpretation. He wote to me (in a
message CC'ed to both Brian and Paul) that if I write derivative work, I have
the choice carrying the exception text into the modified version.
I was not clear enough - my interpretation is the same.
So, no matter how you interpret the GPL exception, there IS a problem.
This is exactly why I am suggesting to change the license to LGPL + exception
that eliminates the dynamic link (or .obj) requirement.
Not necessarily opposed in principle, but the practical problems of coming
up with a new license, with discussing it and getting everyone to agree,
changing
all the files to use it, etc, means it is not a practical course.
Except for RMS,
almost everyone can live with GPL+exception, and is not really interested in
changing, except for fixing the AWT problem.
