Sure, but winebuild is a tool - what do we lose if winebuild is GPLd rather than LGPLd? No proprietary software would need to link against it, right? On Fri, 2003-04-11 at 00:23, Dmitry Timoshkov wrote:

Why do we care about the L part of the LGPL for the tools? For the libraries it's clearly important, but for the setup/build tools?

Shouldn't winebuild, however, use libbfd where available, instead of relying on nm output?
AFAIK libbfd is GPL'ed, i.e. has an incompatible license.
