Harry,
Dont recall Dia's license, but if its GPL (which I think it is) then
embedding python could be an issue. (at this point RMS still isnt 100%
sure status of 1.5.2 or 2.0, but 1.6 is DEFINITELY not GPL compatiable)
Scheme/Guile is fine.
The javascript Ian mentioned said it was GPL so that would be fine.
