If you refer to the ABI when you write "all the fruit", then you are correct. Isolating the ABI is what the header laundering is all about. It's just that THE ABI IS EXPLICITLY NOT COVERED in the COPYING file!

I do not belong to the group who think you are spreading FUD, but that's just because I recognize that you are a troll.
