11) fonts by URW
12) iconv
And probably more not readily-identified libs. Not all of above is (L)GPL but enough, I think, to make them obliged to make source code available.
Funny thing is that Mobipocket code is compiled in too (with gcj). I wonder if that means it'll have to be open-sourced too.
Compiling code with any Gnu compiler does not mean the code has to be released in the public domain. This forum is getting carried away I am afraid. Study the GNU copyleft statements a little closer.
