Hi! I have written a library [1] that is currently under consideration for (at least partial) inclusion in Ruby 2.0 [2]. I used GLib as a reference implementation while writing this library and I am thus wondering exactly how licensing works in this situation.
GLib is released under the LGPL and Ruby is released under its own license [3]. According to the Wikipedia entry [4], the FSF has claimed that: "This is a Free Software license, compatible with the GPL via an explicit dual-licensing clause." [5] I thus wonder if there is any issue in including code based on [6] code in GLib in a project licensed under the Ruby license.
