For the last 15 years I have been told not to use GPL including LGPL libraries. That is true in ordinary companies, but ordinary companies are not what I'm worried about. Why do you think a commercial company would use a elisp library? To make a nonfree extended version of Emacs, perhaps. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software. Use Ekiga or an ordinary phone call
