If the product using that code is to be released at all. You can use
GPL code in internal projects without releasing the source code.
Also, it was my understanding that GNUSTEP is LGPL, not GPL, ie that a
product can include the libraries and is not required to be released as
GPL (only changes made to the libraries should be released). In that
case what is the license of a single source file taken from the
library? Wouldn't it be possible to make another LGPL library, with
only that file, and use it?
I think so ... though of course you would have to distribute that new
library with
your product ... and therefore would need to release the source of the
changes you
made to the original code.
