Apparently you can't read and/or comprehend English. I mailed this
morning that just because something is put under the GPL once, that
does not necessarily mean that everyone else has to use it under the
GPL too. Your ignorance of this fact (and your not challenging it)
imply that all you're doing is trolling.
Besides which, this is irrelevant to your example of grep+libc, since
in linking grep with libc you don't modify any of libc's code, nor do
you patch libc with code that would make it come under the GPL.
The LGPL permits you to make derivative works of the library under
either the GPL or the LGPL. That does not mean that once you do this
(which we haven't anyway), you can never make another derivative work
under the LGPL, or even that you have to treat the original under the
GPL for ever and in eternity (which is what you seem to imply in this
paragraph).
Go away. Find something else to do. Build your own damn distribution
if you can't find something more constructive. We're tired of your
bullshit and your inability to assimilate new ideas (for example, that
you're wrong).
