I expressed myself incorrectly in implying that your application has to be
released under GPL if it links to another under GPL.

Dr. T. was far more accurate in saying that you don't have to do so if your
application doesn't *contain* GPL'ed code. Just because you invoke fopen(),
i.e. your application is linked to libc, doesn't mean you incorporated that
part of libc in your application.

I think most people are able to interpret smileys without seeing them.
Furthermore, only *you* see those emoticons. Everyone else just sees a
message bloated with HTML.
