Isn't the LICENSE.md file in Julia pretty clear? Julia is MIT licensed and repl-readline.c<https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/ui/repl-readline.c>is GPL. I don't see the problem. If I where using libjulia, I can use it in a commercial program. One is of course not allowed to ship fftw though. Still, libjulia and all the .jl files in Base are MIT licensed.
I evantually plan to integrate Julia into a commerical product and I have made some contributions to Julia and Gtk.jl. If Julia would be GPL I would not have done this. Am Montag, 27.
