The fact that Marc's rbtree code is written as lambda templates  
(macros) instead of plain lambdas, for the purpose of optimization, is  
immaterial.  Every program compiled with Chicken would include those  
algorithms and thus be governed by their license.

It does, in the version I analyzed.  Now that you mention it, maybe  
version 2 did not.

Yes, that seems to be the best course of action, unless Marc consents  
to re-release his code under a BSD license for inclusion in Chicken.

If we ask nicely, he might very well do!

By the way Marc, writing (license: lgpl/v2.1) in the middle of a  
scheme module is not enough to place the program under a specific  
license.  You need to write a conspicuous and verbose notice at the  
top of it.  (This program is free software, you can redistribute it...  
blah blah... WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY... blah blah.  I'm sure you've seen  
it a thousand times!)  Here is an howto: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
