Yves,

Are you aware of this project at http://www.websamba.com/guibuilder ? I
haven't looked at it in detail; it seems to be GPL.

Me on my side, I think that if you do not release your binding under
the GMGPL, you inhibit any (closed source) commercial use of your
binding. Because closed source software can't use your binding for
writing commercial programs released under GPL, whereas they could if
you'd release it under the GMGPL.

I share Jeffry's concern that you may very well be unable to switch
back to GMGPL later on, once the community has started sending source
updates on your binding.

Kind regards,

PhB
