Hi John! I am just putting my thoughts he, as I do not decide these matters of course: I think in this case, it might be a good idea to make sure, that guile-json runs on all Schemes implementing a standard level and keep it free software, to avoid the problem of people grabbing it and making it

The MIT license is required for all SRFIs, both texts and implementations: the exact wording appears at the end of every SRFI, and is adjusted over time as the MIT license changes (very slightly). I wasn't there at the time, but it was probably adopted because MIT, like BSD, is a universal donor:

Hi! What is the requirement in terms of licenses for SRFI implementations? I personally think that MIT is a terrible license (one of the I don't care licenses) as it does not make sure, that modifications flow back to the community. Do SRFIs require MIT license? And if so, why? ~ Zelphir On 11/
