This may be a tempest in a tea-pot, at least where GPLv3 is concerned: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html "Both versions of the GPL require you to provide all the source necessary to build the software, including supporting libraries, compilation scripts, and so on. They also draw the line at System Libraries: you're not required to provide the source for certain core components of the operating system, such as the C library. GPLv3 has adjusted the definition of System Library to include software that may not come directly with the operating system, but that all users of the software can reasonably be expected to have. For example, it now also includes the standard libraries of common programming languages such as Python and Ruby." If the software is written in Clojure, then clojure.jar is something that "all users of the software can reasonably be expected to have", is it not? That means clojure.jar can be combined with GPLv3 code, if I'm not mistaken, since doing so apparently doesn't violate the GPLv3 or the EPL. It even apparently allows combining with GPLv2 "or any later version" in that anyone redistributing it can (but must) use GPLv3 or later. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
