I'll wait a bit to see whether any other arguments > surface in favor of weakening the license of GMP. I feel that adding an exception for guile in the GMP license is a bad idea. What if another scheme implementation with a free, but incompatible license wants to use GMP? The FSF would treat guile differently and that would be unfair to all other implementors. I think that the other suggestions are way better.
