this is an important hint at how the GPL was crafted with compiled
languages, esp. C, in mind.  The lisp-world has had it's problem with
that.

See, e.g. http://opensource.franz.com/preamble.html and 
http://www.cliki.net/LGPL

It will be interesting how the licenses will be interpreted in Clojure
where Java and Lisp bump together.  The Java-world probably had it's
discussion, too, no?


Cheers,
Stefan
