There was a tiny thread on the topic some time ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/6651/focus=6658 This message mentions "LGPLv2.5", which RMS suggested back then as a solution for libraries that might have GPLv2-only users. Eventually, I lost track of it, so maybe that possibility was deemed unnecessary? Karl? I suppose there are few, if any, GPLv2-only users, but I don't have any evidence. At any rate, I agree with Neil that this can wait (probably until the next major version?). Thanks, Ludovic.
