At no time did I suggest that Lua switch to a GPL license.
Your conclusion that Lua can't be embeded in GPL'd software is
unfounded. That's exactly why I've posed the question: is the Lua
license GPL compatible? It needs an official answer. Or if Lua adopted
a standard license the answer is readily available at
