Hi Mr. Bardiaux,
Thanks for your reply.
The application *is* statically linked. I had to do that because SourceForge
does not have GMP on their servers, and I could not successfully figure out
how to put the GMP in another location (one I have access to) and dynamically
link with it.
I was aware of (2) in your e-mail above from searching the web.
So, given that the application *is* statically linked, is providing full
source code (so that a person can recompile and link against a new version of
the GMP) enough to meet the license?
Thanks a lot, Dave Ashley.
