Hi, 
 
When a PHP program links to a library using include or require (or their  
_once variations), is the library then linked dynamically or statically? 
 
While it might seem irrelevant from a technical point of view, the  
linking method is important when it comes to licencing issues as some  
licences, like GPL, differ between those kinds of linking when it comes  
to viewing the library as a derivative work of the main program. 
 
Therefore it is quite important to know what kind of linking is in  
effect when including libraries, and I hope someone in this group can  
shed some light on this matter. 
 
Thank you very much in advance, 
Martin
