The build scripts are part of the source code. And as such must be licensed= =20 under the GPL. A system to create make files (such as autoconf) is not as=20 such part of the work. Completely automatically generated makefiles do not= =20 qualify either as they do not fall under copyright law (they are not origin= al=20 works). It seems however that the makefiles included in the cdrtools packag= e=20 should fall under the GPL.=20 This however does not mean necesarilly that Joerg Schilling violates the GP= L=20 as one cannot violate ones own copyright. If there is code that is not his= =20 however, he would violate the GPL. > > > as well as linking mkisofs to libscg, which he relicensed to CDDL > > lately. > > This is a bit more debatable, he *can* link it, if he can change mkisofs > license to allow linking to non-GPL-compatible code. > Of that, I'm not sure tho. The GPL sucks in linking respect. Given the GPL however linking GPL-ed=20 software to non-system libraries that are not GPL licensed (Not even LGPL) = is=20 a violation of the GPL. The GPL is very vague on the subject though.
