It's called fgmp and for example available from http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~scheme/source/stk/Mp/fgmp-1.0b5/ We could include it in guile-core and use it when the user doesn't want the LGPLed GMP. Soooo, that's it, right? Given that fgmp is complete enough (but Stk uses it, so it should be), we don't need to do anything special license wise, right? _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
