CORBA and the GPL (was Re: Can Java code EVER be GPLd, at all?)

[Richard Stallman]

    The the target and caller can end up linked in the same process, or they
    might not.  From the point of view of CORBA, this becomes a detail of the
    compilation method chosen,

The issue of what makes a combined work is not a technical issue, it
is an issue about technical situations.  If that is just a detail as
far as CORBA is concerned, that doesn't make it irrelevant for this
issue.
