Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: [gnu.org #48656] Re: GCL compliance with GNU GPL

[Richard Stallman]

    BFD can be handled, in the terms that Richard seems to be proposing, by
    optionally using the old GCL custom relocation code (GCL is then licenced as
    LGPL) or using BFD linking (GCL licenced as GPL).  It may also be that BFD
    could be linked as a dynamic library,

Using dynamic linking wouldn't change the consequences.

    With respect to the Emacs code extracts, I can't see any alternative to GCL
    being licenced as GPL without getting a waiver or authorisation to use LGPL
    from the copyright holders.

What are these Emacs extracts, and how big are they total?
