The impact of a module's license on the requiring Lua program

[Marc Balmer <marc@...>]

What impact does the license of a Lua module have on the requiring (i.e.
calling) Lua program?

If a Lua module is GPLed, does using that module with 'require' make my
Lua program a derivative work as per GPL terms or is it merely running
the program as per GPL terms? The latter case would mean that my Lua
program needs not be published under the GPL.

Anyone knows sth about this?
