Re: does r-cran-afex violate the GPL?

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

I searched for "GPL and interpreted languages" and found this:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL

The license of the interpreter itself may be anything and it's not
important.

But the last two paragraphs are of interest here. It says that a
program using several modules (perl, java) is dynamically linked to
them and it is a derived work of all of them.

So maybe you are right, but I'd love someone to clarify the difference
between this and the kernel case.

Thanks.
