Hello and sorry...
Yes i remember. We cannot mix QPL and GPL... Sorry but all this
licensing stuff is very hard to deal with ( and is the start point of
many flamewar ).
In fact, i know that Ocaml team is migrating to GPL licence. I consider
the warning of QPL licensing in Cameleon to be only the relief of an old
licence...
I will help Maxence as soon as i have time...
Kind regard
