Re: Usage in commercial software

After searching around a bit, I have come across this another mp library
which seems/aims to be a drop in replacement for 'gnu mp' but with a more
permissive BSD based license. Has anyone tried this library yet?

Maybe we could allow a user to choose between MLTon compiled with GNU MP or
BSDMP. Any thoughts?
