Who should install a shared .NET library to the GAC? The framework that provides the library? Each application that uses it? Both?

I don't want each application that uses the framework to carry a copy of the library locally, so I want it in the GAC (even with all the mainte...

I know this might be a long shot, but here it goes. I have several active projects and each has sub project library which gets compiled when the main project compiles.
