so if I develop some application on linux and compile with gcc and use
standard header files/libs (eg. glib) then that will be linked into
my binary I produce. If I want to sell commercially my app, do I
have to give away the source too? all the source or just the GPL bits?
if I don't include the source do I have to acknowledge the GPL stuff
or include the GPL copyright notice etc etc?
If I have to include the source, then I'm aware of lots of companies
"in breach".
