Yeah, it's a headache.
The gutenprint CUPS filters in my dev tree dynamically pull in 41 shared
libraries, mostly as passthroughs. I'm auditing them now.
Meanwhile, I've raised this concern on the Gutenprint mailing list and
we'll see how the conversation goes.
Is there anyone who could raise concerns to Apple about the license
change? Maybe convince them to dual-license it or something?
