Just for the record: I wasn't suggesting that. I suggested making available to Windows users the graphics libraries in a binary tarball, but that doesn't imply *not* making available the source, too. AFAIK, we distribute binary tarballs of Emacs, separate from the source tarballs. > Note that linking Emacs with libraries not available in source form > and distributing the linked executable also violates the GPL except > in certain special cases (libraries distribute with the kernel or > compiler). The graphics libraries on Windows are DLLs. They not only aren't statically linked, they are not even dynamically linked in the traditional sense. Even after Emacs is configured to use them, it does not depend on them existing at all; it "discovers" whether they're at hand or not (by trying to load them) and uses the ones it can find. My head *hurts* thinking about the legal status of this :) But anyway, the point is moot. We'll describe in the docs how to build Emacs on Windows, which are the recommended libraries and where to find them. /L/e/k/t/u
