Uhm. Can you provide some pointers for 'Cannot write GPL projects in Clojure'? That's .. new to me.

  In order to package a Clojure project, I have to include clojure.jar which is an EPL licensed project, incompatible with the GPL. If I write my code in Clojure, but license it under the GPL, then that forces me to not package clojure.jar with it, making the installation process a huge pain.

    I'm pretty sure that isn't a surety. See the accepted answer here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11412160/java-libraries-under-the-gpl https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11412160/java-libraries-... for instance. LGPL, in any case, would almost certainly be okay. Most people I talk to consider .jar's a dynamic link and dynamic links okay via the GPL but there are alternative interpretations and I don't think it has been tested one way or another in the courts.

    To the best of my knowledge you can make GPL clojure code, and include clojure.jar too. http://osdir.com/ml/clojure/2010-03/msg01337.html http://osdir.com/ml/clojure/2010-03/msg01337.html
