I don't agree that '0' being false is sensible. This, plus less than

I don't mean to imply that I think it's senseless. Just that, to me, it

Frankly, I love it. Since I plan
ASSUMPTION
Parrot will only link to the GMP library, right? Either static or
shared, doesn't matter.
IN BRIEF
If so, then there's no problem. GMP is licensed under the LGPL, the
same license as libc6. Parrot links to libc6 without any problem,
right? (Though thankfully it doesn't use much o
