A traveler yes, "new age" maybe not. Just trying not to chase after money, and
follow "the way".

That don't work. Dog can't better dog. Dog can only better itself, and hope that
other dog will do likewise. That is, unless dog threaten to eat dog if they
refuse to be bettered - but then again that doesn't really better dog, but just
make dog afraid of dog, at best.
Dog can *help* dog to better themselves, though. If dog is willing to be helped.

That's pretty well-established in USA law. It's a derivative work if you
copied the original and then changed it. It's not a derivative if you
started without the original. Even if the two yield the same results.

Yes, if you didn't base it on the code from the GPLed library. Even if it's
an instruction-for-instruction duplicate of the code in the GPLed library.
(That's one of the differences between copyrights and patents.)
IANAL.

Thank you for clarifying. The only thing I know about copyright law is never use
any software that requires a license key unless you pay for it (from the
software maker that is). TO keep it simple I just don't use any software that
requires a license key.

Maybe it is best forgotten :)
In certain times and places it was no complement to some.
