Thanks again.I have a last question: I adviced the author with several possibilities, including adding a notice allowing linking his GPL program with MAPM.
I found such a notice from project OpenSSL: http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2However, I would like to confirm Scicalc's author could use a similar notice to allow his GPL program to use MAPM. I do not 100% trust this FAQ, since I find assuming that OpenSSL is part of the operating system is a weak argument.
The GPL FAQ contains a similar statements, but aimed at communication between two libraries through a given interface.
Meanwhile, the author is also trying to talk MAPM's author into releasing it under a GPL-compatible license.

Unfortunately, the license is incompatible with the GPL.
