Scsh does indeed require written permission for commercial use, but this is probably a carry-over from the licence of the underlying Scheme implementation, Scheme 48. I suspect that the author, Olin Shivers (shivers@ai.mit.edu), would be willing to release the high-level scsh code under GPL. Would someone "officially" involved with Guile development like to contact him? PS: Unfortunately I wouldn't be capable of the low-level wizardry that the guile-scsh work requires. -- Eric Marsden emarsden @ mail.dotcom.fr It's elephants all the way down
