Hi Tristan,

If I understand correctly what GHDL does when it generates an
executable: the executable is linked with the ghdl run-time library
(GRT). But GRT is under the GPL license. So the generated executable is
GPL too.

With others GCC front-ends there are exceptions appended to the GPL
license for run-time library portions of the compilers.

For example with Gnu Ada there is the GMGPL exception:
http://gnuada.sourceforge.net/pmwiki.php/Main/GMGPL

Is the GPL licensing of GRT is a deliberate choice ?

Perhaps I am mistaking about the licensing of the generated
executable... I need clarifications :)
