David is exactly right. It's your choice if you want to let us use your
submissions in the full version of Claw or not.

If you want to let us use them unconditionally, either make them Public
Domain, or make them GMGPL and contact me separately to let us use them
in the full Claw. (No promises, of course.)

If you want to let us use them IFF we make the full Claw GMGPL, make
them GMGPL and insist on that for us to use them. This would be a
potential way to convince us to open up full Claw: if there are GMGPLed
components out there that we just have to have, then that may force me
to apply the GMGPL to the entire Claw bindings.

If you never want to let us use them in any circumstances, then you'll
have to use a more restrictive, non-GPL license.

Happy (and safer) Windows programming!
