Well, precisely, I've been considering the idea of using Gnulib in Guile
for some time and am willing to take action soon.  The issue is that
Guile is still under LGPLv2.1+; when it switches to another licence,
that licence will likely be LGPLv2.5[*] rather than LGPLv3.

I don't yet have a precise list of the modules that we'll need, but can
we reasonably assume that Gnulib will accommodate our needs?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

[*] From what I know, LGPLv2.5 will be equivalent to "GPLv2 or LGPLv3".
