(They are all MIT > licensed...) Yep, but I think this doesn't apply. We wouldn't include clojure's source code, only the binary jar file, as it's a prerequisite for compiling the project. In the meantime, I got a reply from the GNU licensing guys. It seems we have to add a "special exception" to our GPL, which permits Clojure's usage. And it doesn't matter if we include clojure or not, the usage is what matters. BTW: What's the reason that Clojure is licensed under the EPL and the contrib stuff under CPL? Since clojure is not really eclipse-related, I don't see a good rationale. IMHO, the Lesser GPL would be a much better fit. Then you can use clojure also in commercial apps (I guess that was the rationale behind EPL), but still you can use it in projects with any other free-software license, may it be EPL, GPL or whatever...
