The one which causes the least trouble. How many folks are using libguile with proprietary software? How many with free software? I daresay that former group is much smaller than the latter, but I could be wrong. Seems to me that the smaller group should be inconvenienced, not the larger. I'm still not certain why guile doesn't simply use the LGPL. And I still don't buy that dynamic linking produces a derived work; nor am I convinced that static linking really does in any meaningful sense. -- Robert Uhl Christos Voskrese iz mertvych Smertiju smert' poprav I suscim vo hrobich zi Vot darovav! _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
