<div>RMS himself hit the roof when the original M3CG front-end to gcc was done, as he saw it as a threat to GPL. So, I wouldn’t count on that.</div>

You can release every package *you*write using the GPL.<br class="">
<br class="">
But you'll have licence compatibility issues because the majority of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
Modula 3 code is not covered by the GPL unless you also release it<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
under a license compatible with the one that most of the Modula 3<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">

<br class="">
There's nothing difficult about having two licences. It just means<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
there are two possible conditions under which someone can use and copy<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
them. Its enough for either to apply, and it gets out of bothersome<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
licence compatbility restrictions.<br class="">
