This is sad. I've always believed that it was important to support both worlds in a balanced manner. I do believe that making the generic code available to the non-glibc world is in fact extending its usage. There is the suggestion in the above that there may be considerations beyond licensing and copyright involved. > I hope you're still interested in and motivated by the ligcc-math project.
