Pretty much. It is possible to write stand-alone elisp code that only uses Emacs internals. At that point you are okay, treating Emacs has an interpreter only (so the code it interprets doesn't have to be under a GPL-compatible license). But as soon as you load an Emacs lisp library and use it, then you'll using a GPL'ed library (as opposed to an LGPL'ed one) and your code must be GPL-compatible (if you distribute it of course). > I discovered one of them which > could be problematic.
