It was a great flame war in gnu.misc.discuss at least 2 years ago when M. Hendersen (sp?) made a cryptographic tool with hooks *only* for gmp (there was nothing else available). His "error" was not to make it under the GPL so rms came and claimed what was really a interface copyright (without admitting it). The only way the author kept its hooks for gmp was to create a fgmp, compatible with the API but inefficient and probably incomplete. Its only purpose was to exist. I doubt it was updated since...
