Since GPL and GMGPL - as far as I understand it - only differ in the case of libraries and not in the case of programs, you might be able to do it, but I suspect that there may be some wierd details that can get you in trouble. I think it is safer to use GPL in such a case. Since GMGPL is comes with fewer restrictions than GPL, you should in general avoid GMGPL'ing code that uses GPL'ed code. I am unsure of how GMGPL and LGPL relates, but I have a feeling that GMGPL also has fewer restrictions than LGPL. Greetings, Jacob PS: If you are really serious about this, you should pay your lawyer a lot of money to tell you that he/she is not quite sure about this either. -- "Any, sufficiently complicated, experiment is indistinguishable from magic."
