There are lots of nice things in GSL that makes it a tempting requirement for some future version of Lush. But it seems like we cannot copy code from GSL or make it a build requirement since it is released under GPLv3 and Lush is released under LGPLv2.1: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility My understanding is that our use of GSL is only permitted if Lush were re-released under GPLv3. (Ironically, Lush is listed on the GSL info page, http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ as an application using GSL.)
