As long as we make sure that all libs and headers are covered by the exception, and that linking an app against Guile really does mean that the exception applies across the board, and we mention this clearly in LICENSE, I would think we'd be fine. Of course we also have to make sure that the "official" text in the source files matches what LICENSE says. IANAL, but it has been my impression that legally speaking, it may be what's in each individual source file that actually matters. i.e. it might not matter whether or not we want LICENSE to be comprehensive and official because that may not be how copyright law actually works. Dunno, but as long as LICENSE and the actual files agree, we don't have to worry about it. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
