The FTL is GPLv2-incompatible, but according to the FSF, it's GPLv3- compatible...

Yes, that's the only possible license issue in the future that I can see. Everything else appears okay... > Python: GPL-compatible: see, > http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/license/ We don't link anyway. > Dejaview: can't find any info on this, what is its provenance? It appears only in the compiling instructions for FreeBSD. I don't think we link to it. From the description it seems that dejaview simply makes the FBSD fonts available to lilypond (at least that's what the CG says). > FontForge: new BSD license (i.e. GPL-compatible) We don't link, just call. > Metafont: seems a bit weird and uncertain (TeX licenses, some GPL) > but this is just called, not linked to, no? yes, we just call mf or mf-win > Texinfo: GPLv3+, but we only call it, don't link (?) exactly. > GNU Bison: GPLv3+, but we only call it The code it puts in the output file (which is linked into lilypond) is GPLv2+ with additional exception to use for any larger work (except other parser generators).
