Yet, oddly, I'm quite familiar with the surrounding facts of NeXT's
ObjC extensions to GCC, and the legal issue was very clearly and
explicitly the creation and redistribution of a derivative work in
violation of FSF's copyright terms.
I've read some of Prof. Moglen's public writings on the broader
question, and, despite great respect and appreciation for him generally,
I couldn't help noticing that on that particular point he was long on
advocacy and extremely short on legal analysis. If my overall
understanding of the copyright framework for software is incorrect, I
will end up being very gratified to learn better -- not to mention
utterly astonished, and wanting a refund for thsoe classes in civil law.
