Is this intended to apply only to compiler libraries, or will it include
such things as the bison skeleton and whole subroutine packages, such as
the GNU getopt and regexp packages? If the latter, that will answer my
objections to the current GPV. I proposed such a change about a year ago,
and was shouted down then. I'm glad to see that the FSF is relaxing their
insistence that others adhere to their utopian ideas.
