Ok, so do that mean that my BSD-licensed application, which has code that
looks like this:

# Since GPLcode is licensed under the GPL, I'm not allowed to distribute it.
# You can get it at http://www.foo.com/gplcde
package require GPLcode

is legal and does not ingringe on GPLcode's license?

Also, all the discussions so far have been for shared libs and compiled
code. How does it work for a script, where all the source code is right
there and visible by all?
