Is SystemC license compatible with the GPL ?

[Matthieu MOY]

[ Email already sent twice to gnu at gnu.org, without answer ]

Hi,

I've developped a  piece of software using GCC as  a C++ front-end and
the SystemC library.

The  SystemC license  can be  found  from www.systemc.org  (And as  an
attachment of this email)

I would like to know wether it is legal to distribute this software and wether
it is possible to do so under a free license.


The architecture of the software is as follow :


  +------------+       +-------------+       +-------------+
  |            |       |             |       |             |
  |     A      |       |      B      |       |      C      | 
  |            |       |             |       |             |
  |  SystemC   |<--1-->| My software |<--2-->|     GCC     |
  |            |       |             |       |             |
  +------------+       +-------------+       +-------------+

Where <--n--> can be either a static or a dynamic link.

I would  like to  use as permissive  licenses as possible.  Ideally, I
would like the following :

A = SystemC license
B = LGPL
C = GPL

Is this possible ?
(From what I understood, I can distribute A+B and let the user download C and
compile A+B+C himself)

If not, do you have a solution ?

Or maybe, the following would fit :

A = Dual license GPL + (L)GPL
B = (L)GPL
C = GPL

?

Thanks for your help,
