IIRC, there is another license (guile, maybe?) that's identical to GPL except it doesn't affect the outer program.

- justinhj 17y agoMIT license is far less restrictive.
- narag 17y agoOf course, but if you want to go with the GPL, you can use exceptions and protect just the part you want.
- silentbicycle 17y agoThat's the LGPL, used in the GMP library for example.
- narag 17y agoNo, it's not: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.6/guile-ref/Guile-License.html http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.6/guile-ref/Gu...
- silentbicycle 17y agoYou're right - Guile has its own license. The LGPL has similar concessions to linking to non-GPL programs, though.
