Thanks for the info.
When (or if) I finally my little project together, I want to release it
both as source and as precompiled binary.
FWIW, it is legit to use Guile in non-free software. From the README
of 1.6.4: "The license of Guile consists of the GNU GPL plus a special
statement giving blanket permission to link with non-free software."
So, any patches to Guile itself are to be released according to the
GPL. But one could deliver a proprietary, precompiled program that
dynamically links to Guile without violating the licence.
