It seems that Peter Wemm said: > BTW: I've just found "fgmp", which is a "free" replacement for libgmp. > ie: no GPV. (I've not seen if it has other restrictions though, as the > ftp is going slowly..) Don't use it. The author just made it to avoid rms flames about the GPL... It was a great flame war in gnu.misc.discuss at least 2 years ago when M. Hendersen (sp?) made a cryptographic tool with hooks *only* for gmp (there was nothing else available). His "error" was not to make it under the GPL so rms came and claimed what was really a interface copyright (without admitting it). The only way the author kept its hooks for gmp was to create a fgmp, compatible with the API but inefficient and probably incomplete. Its only purpose was to exist. I doubt it was updated since...
