Fwd: GPL

Here's part of an email exchange with someone choosing between Nice and
Scala

> - The GPL license on the runtime files really make me nervous about
> using in a commercial product that I'm working on.  I saw Daniels
> message about the runtime files being LGPL, but I don't think that's
> what it says in the source.  Also, the runtime files under the gnu
> (also GPL according to the source) package are written by someone
> else, so I would have to contact that person to verify that it would
> be ok to distribute in a non-GPL program.  Also, NiceSwing appears
> to be GPL as well, so to do any GUI development I would need to
> rewrite it.  (Not that anything like NiceSwing exists for Scala, but
> I'm sure my NiceSwing replacement would end up looking a lot like
> the current NiceSwing, so I wouldn't want to be accused of stealing
> GPL code...)
