Thanks Chris for the reply.

I'm not a lawyer either.:-)

I have found the FAQ
see:http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatIsCompatible

but after reading for several hours, I still does no get the clean answer.
I know that LLVM/UIUC's license is compatible with GPL, but if my code 
was statically link to libclang, can I publish the code under GPLV3 ?

This is the main point I still can't find under the FAQ.


thanks.
