I'm currently releasing LuaX as LGPL (no complaints there, so far). 
With Hamster and Lumikki I've taken another road, more "strict" open 
source I guess, due to their role as tools instead of end components.

What exactly do you think is non-GPL in my interpretation?  Lot of 
commercial software is done using gcc; where does this differ?

-ak

ps. Legally, of course, GPL text itself applies, not my 'nutshell'.
