Sounds like co-distribution is perfectly legalSounds like co-distribution is perfectly legalPosted Nov 10, 2005 16:53 UTC (Thu) by vmole (guest, #111)In reply to: Sounds like co-distribution is perfectly legal by hazelsct Parent article: Debian and Nexenta collide
You've missed the distinction between "mere aggregation" and "derived work". The claim is that when you distribute (say) dpkg with the Solaris libc, you are distributing a derived work combining the dpkg code and the libc code, because (this particular binary) of dpkg will not work without (this particular binary) libc. Remember API!=ABI, and by including the header files provided by the Solaris libc, you're including Solaris libc specific code.
