For the Lisaac compiler :
GPL V3 + http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception.html

In the last text, GCC must be replaced by "Lisaac Compiler". This text
should be added and" GPL + exception" should be used as copyright for
the code from the compiler that will be put in the binaries.

For the library,
We choose "LGPL V3 + global compilation exception"

I haven't yet any answer from the FSF.

i propose a derived form of the licence from freePascal, this must be
put a specific file and a mention should give
"LGPL V3 + global compilation exception (see
licence_global_compilation_exception.txt)" for example.

"As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give
you permission to compile this library with independent modules to
produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these
independent prototypes, and to copy and distribute the resulting
executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet,
for each compiled independent prototypes, the terms and conditions of the
license of that prototypes. An independent prototype is a prototype which is not
derived from or based on this library. "

origin :
"As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give
you permission to [link] this library with independent modules to
produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these
independent [modules], and to copy and distribute the resulting
executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet,
for each linked independent [module], the terms and conditions of the
license of that [module]. An independent [module] is a module which is not
derived from or based on this library. [If you modify this library, you
may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you not
obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
statement from your version.]"

I had removed the last part, because i think we want the same licence
inside the library.

Ps: nice job for the new web site.
