That can't be right, because Guile has already imported several modules of similar size without copyright assignment. e.g. SSAX, match, and several SRFI implementations. Htmlprag is distributed under the LGPL 2.1 or later, which should be fine for us. Of course I'd like to hear a pronouncement from one of the official maintainers, but I see no reason why we couldn't import htmlprag and start modifying it. Regards, Mark
