Since my script copies bits of itself into the output, those bits carry the GPL along unless you add a special exception to the LICENSE, similar to the exceptions added for bison, flex, etc. > Take a look from the other side: If you use a programming language > licensed under GPL (the languages, not the libraries) you're still free > to release every program written in this language, using the license you > like to. To be pendantic, languages are never licensed until the GPL. Compilers are, and if the compilers copy bits of themselves into the compiled version, I think they need special exceptions.
