It has happened to me several times now that I looked into some software 
package and only then learn out that it is perceived to be incompatible with 
the LinuxCNC license.

To cut the waste of time and effort, I've started a Wiki page on license 
compatibility.

http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LicenseCompatibility

Some I've stumbled over, and I am unclear about, are: Mozilla, LGPL, LGPL 2.1 
license (static linking permitted), BSD, MIT

I have no intent to start a licensing discussion, I am no expertise in 
licensing, and dont intend to become one; I do believe the current collective 
view needs documentation.

Please feel free to add directly to the Wiki page, or drop me a mail on the 
issue, or contact me on IRC.

Also, I would appreciate pointers to discussions and decisions pertaining to 
the issue since they might make sense to add.
