Hi,
Let me recap:
You want a GNU license, still you can demonstrate
that GNU licensing system failed in the case of
GNU Prolog to create a vital community especially
a community that works on the Prolog system itself?
But I am not 100% whether this is true, I saw
an interesting fork somewhere that supported Unicode.
Maybe there will be suddently a new release? An
indicator that it is really dead could be their
GitHub issues and GitHub commits.
https://github.com/didoudiaz/gprologLast commit 12 months ago but a lot of new issues.
Thats really bad. Thats is "no support" right?
Bye

GNU Prolog is full of bugs and it is a dead project by now: what's more, it is not the clean and mean base I would hope to fork from.
Dogelog looks much better in that and pretty much every technical sense: alas, it is not a viable licensing or even commercial scheme for me as it is (it's a matter of support to begin with).
Indeed, consider that, as far as I am concerned, choosing a Prolog engine is a commitment and an investment for the next 10 years minimum: I develop libraries and tools, not just occasional apps.
