Isn't the final verdict up to the individual licence owners?

e.g. I have a very different interpretation to the FSF about how the GPL
covers dynamic linking than the FSF have ... so when I licence libraries
under the GPL, I think it's _perfectly_acceptable_ for non-GPL binaries
to use them.


The FSF's opinion of what the GPL means is only relevant if they're the
ones paying the lawyers to come after people, and they only do that for
their own software.
