It doesn't, AFAIK, but IANAL. But the issue is not so much the specific data, but the format in which the data is and the reasons behind choosing that format. The FSF might successfully present to a court an argument such as: Look, Your Honor, it is quite obvious that the code in question was developed to work as a single program, and that the separation through the intermedia representation layer is just an attempt to escape the conditions of the license of the program they based their work on. Please don't permit the defendant to keep on distributing that code without complying with the license conditions. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org}
