Also during the discussion, Philip told us how a guy has written a proprietary instant messaging application using the library (libyahoo2) developed by him and how he circumvent the GPL. Then many people very curious to know the reaction and feeling of Philip. :-)
well, just to make a minor correction, libyahoo2 is based on gaim, so it is only partially developed by me. Also, libyahoo2 was not the only free software package included there.
There was no licence violation, since all code linked against free software packages was released under the GPL.
