Nope, not a clue. Something about using LGPL on ourselves and getting a GPL infection. Is that an STD or something? ;-)

Joking aside, I'm also in the "No GPL" camp. However, waxing philosophical for a second if I may, it does bring up an interesting computational science question about dealing with "mainstay" codes like FFTW that have a GPL license. That's not a code that could be simply reinvented, and it powers a large portion of computational science. Again, just pondering.

I think I’m senior enough to get a secretary to do grammar checks etc., but I’m not having any hopes. I think you got what I meant. Sorry.
