  19. Well, depends...  I usually consider use of software to include
  20. using the source code (when available) in any public domain programs
  21. I'm writing.  The GNU restrictions don't mix with that since I don't
  22. want to restrict the use of my code.
  23.  
  24. Some GNU programs also include things in their output that makes
  25. their input property of FSF.
