  16.    A few of them do it so their customers won't have to buy additional
  17.    runtime libraries (such as the FORTRAN runtime library) in order
  18.    to run their software.
  19.  
  20. Actually, the shared libraries (like libF77) may be redistributed with
  21. your application.

  23. If *that* is what motovated your application developer to link
