Thanks for the answers :-)
This is a very interesting point. If I understand the PHP architecture
right, that means that already the PHP-MySQL-Module is illegal, because
the MySQL client libs are linked dynamically with PHP (or is the
PHP-License completely GPL confomant?), right? At least when it comes to
a proprietary PHP app, under the current interpretation of the GPL that
would be illegal?
