>From the Dec'05 f2f, there was a request to add a warning mode for appchk for 
interfaces or libraries that may provide an encumberance due to implementation 
license.  Recording this bug so the discussion is not forgotten. Presumably the 
idea is if a library has gone in to LSB knowing that use of the library may not 
be without consideration for all developers, that we should have flagged that 
somehow in the DB and appchk could have a warning mode which reports on the use 
of interfaces from that library if requested.  The DB doesn't track such issues 
at the moment (we haven't really let any in).  Note that lsbcc has a warning 
mode now that reports library links that were automatically turned to -lstatic, 
perhaps this check could go into lsbcc?  Marked this an enhancement request as 
not sure this is mandatory for release.
