Thanks. I know it can seem that way but I guess it comes down to what I want to build and how the derivative will help. It would almost reverse engineer half of the project through common sense if I released the source of this one library, otherwise I wouldn't really come out of the shadows and ask. Releasing code and acknowledgements should be a personal choice not an enforced one. Some proprietary software makes more sense than others to do this. So another thing is about flexibility. I just can't release derivative code. LuaJit it is. I will check back again now and then on the status of TinyCC; it has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. And by favorite, I mean tinker around with it in my own lab, because it wasn't going anywhere else sadly.

it to be viral to their code). i.e. i think you're over-reacting to it being LGPL. (If it were GPL, i'd be in full agreement with you.)
