Dear Drew, CeCILL asserts that the CeCILL license is GPL-compatible. And indeed it is, thanks to an explicit compatibility clause (5.3.4). The [FSF confirms] the compatibility. [FSF confirms]: <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CeCILL> However, the issue we are talking about in this bug report is *completely* unrelated to the CeCILL license, unfortunately. It is instead due to the CeCILL-C license, which is GPL-incompatible. The [FSF agrees] with me on this incompatibility. [FSF agrees]: <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CeCILL-C> Please do *not* close this bug report, until the issue is properly addressed.
