It doesn't seem that blurred to me. If you put your "extension" in one of your own packages, then it is in a separate program unit from the GMGPL'ed sources. There's no actual sources from the GMGPL'ed unit in your program unit (package), so the only real copyright issue with the use of the program unit that is under the GMGPL is that you are linking against it. The GMGPL clearly says that linking cannot by itself force you to use the GPL, so you are free. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
