Well, that's why I put in the part about the library's authors -
ultimately, it isn't up to Stallman.  It would be up to (I think) Spencer
Kimball and Peter Mathis, the original authors of GTK+, plus whoever is
hacking on it now.  They wrote it, they can license it.  They have
licensed it under the LGPL, but if they want to tell you that you can or
can't do X with their code, that's up to them.
