Nice way to try to personally insult someone, guess that means the end
of this thread for me.

One claim that was made was that a program that uses a GPL library can
be put under any license you like, which is not true.

A second claim was that a library under the LGPL would force a LGPL/GPL
license on your program , which is also not true.

A third claim was that the Linux kernel forces every program run on
Linux OS to be GPL, which is also not true, since the kernel authors
clearly stated that userspace programs are not derived works from the
kernel.

A fourth claim was that Microsoft DLL Licenses don't for a certain
license on your programs, which is also not true (just reread your
Visual Studio License).

A fifth claim was that companies like Oracle and Vmware also use GPL
libraries for their software, which is also not true, they use LGPL
libraries.

Don't bother replying to this because this Trolling non English
understander with a emotional personality disorder will not continue
this conversation anymore.
