rms explicitly said he'd withhold permission for that.
I have a hard time believe he said that. Do you have a pointer to it ?
I strongly suspect that he said something else, pretty close but not
equivalent. More to the point, it's 100% clear that RMS' "freedom"
implies
that as a GPL-programmer you should be free to use any GPL code without
having to care whether or not a non-GPL version of the same API exists.
The GMP library (and its fgmp replacement) seems particularly relevant in
this context.
