Thanks. Pretty extensive document on the subject and very good reading.
Just a small correction:
inline functions exists and is used quite a lot in C as well, not only C
++, usually pulled in from library header files. Resulting in a form of
statically linked functions carrying their license requirements into the
compiled program. This is mentioned in the macros section, but section
on shared libraries implies that this is not an issue in C.
What is true is that the inline mechanism is used a lot more in C++ than
C. But is still something you need to look out for when mixing
code/libraries with different licenses in C.
