You only have to do that work if you aren't ready to believe our assertions that it's not needed, and the intentions of the authors of the GNU libc library to ensure that it's not needed, but instead need to prove this to yourself empirically. > Paul Smith pointed out that nothing said here is legally binding nor > "legal advice" and is nothing more than as he put it, "Advice from > someone on the internet".

If that's good enough then you're all set and no more work needs to be done. Remember, there are already _thousands_ of proprietary C and C++ programs running on GNU/Linux platforms, all of which were compiled with GCC and linked against GNU libc, and they are not having any legal troubles related to this. If you need more than that, then yes, you'll have to do more work to achieve whatever level of satisfaction you require. How much work that is, is up to you and we can't help with that. Cheers!
