For version 0.2.2 of "Amber for Parrot" http://xamber.org/index.html that I released today I have, in addition to the Gnu GPL, licensed the software under the Eiffel Forum License v2 to the extent that is needed to allow me to distribute the C-package generated by SmartEiffel. I would still appreciate a resolution of the license problem that arises when using SmartEiffel to produce a C-package from a GPL application combined with SmartEiffel's non-GPL libraries.
