I'm sorry, I may have missed the previous messages. I know that OCaml is distributed under the QPL and this license is not GPL-compatible. This means that people (Ocaml program writers) cannot redistribute their programs under the GPL (they have to choose LGPL instead, for example). =20 Some people came up with a dual-licensing solution. The most obvious examples are Perl and Qt. A dual QPL/GPL license for OCaml could solve the problem that is mentioned. Daniel de Rauglaudre wrote: > The point is the LGPL, not the GPL.
