For instance, I'm linking Python 2 with the readline lib now (which is GPL).
That's standard on Linux.
If the two aren't compatible, I don't have a license to use the resulting
binary. Since I have combined incompatible licenses, I don't have a license
to the software at all.
I happen to believe that they *are* compatible, so sue me FSF :).
