Re: Can you make a closed source application using Guile?

Closed source as in compiled lisp (not changes to the compiler/runtime?)
I think so as long as it's dynamical linked. Guile is under the LGPL like
GNU LibC. So intuitively anything you can do there is probably safe to do
with guile.

I'm not a lawyer though.
