licensing questions

[Paulo Matos]

Hi,

libgccjit is released with GCC and therefore GPLv3.
This seems to mean, from my relatively low knowledge in this area, that
all libraries linking to libgccjit to create bindings and libraries and
applications linking to this library are forced into GPLv3.

I though LGPL was created with the purpose of stopping the viral spread
of GPLv3. Was it the authors decision to make it GPLv3 instead of LGPL -
which would have been, I guess, more flexible?

Kind regards,
