I think he meant proprietary "language binding", not "proprietary
language" binding.

Good. This might be enough.

But I have just downloaded a new copy of
chgtk-3.0.0.linux2.2.5.intel.tar.gz and I still see the "3. No
Modification of Licensed Software.". Maybe you should show us your
intended license online or as an attachment.

I have not looked at them because I can not do that without installing
the binary. It might be OK. After we have seen the license I will
forward the details to Owen Taylor, who is more of an expert.

It would probably be a good idea to submit your patches to GTK+ to avoid
the need to fork the project for Ch.

Again, I don't mean to make your life difficult. It's obvious that you
want to do the right thing.
