I don't think so. All I distribute is the source code. I do not offer
binaries, so at least I'm not linking it. :-) People offering binary
distributions of precompiled vgetty versions might have this problem. But
well, I think that's a good reason to start dropping using mgetty functions
at all. :-)))
