Re: Base BFD support: limit GPL spreading?

I know my CGIKit, a simple CGI-based Objective-C web service library, may rely on this - when an exception is caught it will create a HTTP 500 page with good error backtrace, if the programmer so desires.

Effectively option #2 violates the GPL anyway since, if it's an integral part of the app and loaded as a bundle, it's still *required* by the app.   It's a legal gray area.

The only thing that we use BFD for is to print pretty exception traces (which is more important on platforms with buggy loaders).  I doubt that there are any apps that actually depend on this, and if there are then there really shouldn't be...
