Stef, instead of thanking five times, why don't you try to do
something constructive?

The GPLv3 includes a system of granting Additional Permissions.  This
system has already been used by GCC and Autoconf.  Let's develop a set
of additional permissions that we believe do not "taint" the whole
image.  I placed a starting point at
http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/bonzinip/towards-permissive-copyleft-license-dynamic-languages

[To those that followed the entire thread: this is totally independent
of how any GSoC code related to GNU Smalltalk will be licensed].

Paolo what I learned is that I want to be as far as possible from license problems.
So I avoid them simply
        either I would do GPL/dual licensing to get company pay to get it.
        or MIT because I understand it.

I know this is naive but I hate licenses! They fucked up our lives.

Possibly.  But fanaticism has its share of guilt too.  I have my
opinion on what's worse.

exactly so I'm fanatic at all. Like with nuclear distance is the best protection.
And I thank randall because naively I thought that LGPL was ok for us.
