[ale] OT: GPL and GNU compilers

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Christopher Fowler)]

If you ask RMS, he'll say that your code must be GPL'd.  But what I
understand is that you can dynamically link your software with glibc and
not disclose your source.  If you statically link, then you'll have to
disclose.
