I must be blind. Thanks. I'll let upstream knows -- AFAIK they are
using Scheme2Js as a component in something that is currently
GPL-licensed, and CeCILL-C is listed as *in*compatible with GPLv2.

Is there any more information about the reason CeCILL-C conflicts with
GPL? For B it's the advertising clause, I guess.

Thanks,
