As Guile maintainers, Ludovic and I have been asked to look at
changing Guile's license to LGPLv3. Currently it is LGPLv2.1. If we
did this, it would be for the next stable release series (1.10.x, or
possibly 2.0.x) and onwards, not for any further 1.8.x releases.
Our understanding is that this is uncontroversial, except if there are
any GPL v2-only applications using Guile. Can you therefore let us
know if you are working on any GPL v2-only applications, or are aware
of any?
Thanks,
Neil

Hi Guilers,
We recently announced (below) that we were looking at changing Guile's
license to LGPLv3+, and asked if anyone knew of any GPLv2-only
applications that this would cause a problem for.
There were no responses; therefore the plan as of now is that Guile v2
(i.e. the next major release, following the 1.8.x series) will be
LGPLv3+.
Regards,
Neil
