GPL Linking exception or transformation to LGPL?

Hi Jos, Jaroslaw and Alexander,

First, thank you very much for the fast and kind answers!
I didn't knew about the possibility of the GPL to use the code in my
own executable, thanks for spotting that! I guess this solves my
question: I'm indeed not planning to redistribute the executable (at
least for now).

As soon as I get a stable and clean implementation of the library,
I'll come back to you for integration purpose. Still, as you pointed
it, it probably makes sense to unify the licenses of the listed files.

Attached you'll find the complete list of contributors who worked on
them. If you want, I can try to contact individually the developers
who worked on those files and
propose them an alternative license for a packaging into a library. In
this case, what should be the proposed license ? LGPLv2.1 or later?

Thanks and best regards,
Christophe

Additional note: I didn't receive the responses to my original mail,
since I was not part of the mailing list. I got lucky since I checked
the online archive. Is this a wanted behaviour?
