Pico language interpreter license changed to GPL



Hi,


I just got hold of the Pico language. It used to be BSD licensed but now changes its license to GPL.

The packages are "tpico2" and "tpico2-experimental" in pkgsrc-wip.


I'm just posting this as its a Scheme based language which is quite interesting.

I still need to remove comments, change license headers and so on but the owner should be clear

from the README etc in tpico2-experimental.


So, just give me some time after vacation to fix all that.

Note also that it uses a specific readline version 5.0, not the usual I mean.


Later on, I will probably also remove this sole library dependency by just

parsing a newline and putting it in a Pico Sesssion or Do.


This package should probably go in current especially as it's in lang/devel, but I am not going to do that myself.

Just give me some time to fix the above and enjoy the new open Pico language which is a lambda calculus based

language where you can post packages for or just code the heck out of it.


Best regards,

Johan
