Subject: Dynamic loading of C libraries
Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 19:09:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1OEsNs-0006zo-2c@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I talked with our lawyer, and we determined that GCC's technique of
checking for a symbol whose name says "I am under a GPL3-compatible
license" is ok for Emacs and other GNU packages when dynamically
loading libraries at the C level.
So you can implement dynamic loading with the check for that symbol.
If the symbol is not present then the function to load should
report an error and not load it.
