hey guys,
...I've just done a "quick and dirty" port of a bunch of Pete's_Plugins, which are under the lpgl, and I notice that Gem is gpl'ed: will this cause any problems? I'm not familiar with these kind of formalities ;-)

I think if you link agains lgpl'd code its not a problem, it is a problem though if you include the code into gem.

no not at all. LGPL is sort of less restrictive then GPL, as you can use it for both free and proprietary software, whereas GPL'ed software may only be reused in free projects.
