I think that your list was correct. I > only added a note about ./plug-ins/common/gifload.c to Bugzilla > #83362. On request of someone here, I did a in-depth study of the licenses used in the GIMP 1.2.2's plug-ins, three-quarters of a year ago. I published the results at <http://www.xs4all.nl/~collin/test/GIMP- licensing/>. The idea was that Sven and Mitch would write the authors to see if we could GPL the plug-ins that weren't GPL'ed already. I don't know what happened to that. (Sven? Mitch?) On a side note: Guile advertises itself as _the_ extension programming language. It's part of the GNU project, so I assume it's GPL'ed. I am not a programmer, so I don't know how hard or easy it would be to use Guile as a drop-in replacement. The homepage <http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html> makes it look very simple to write a Guile supporting app in C, but again, I cannot really judge if this is indeed as simple.
