Yea, I'd expect it to be big, but 10 MB is still easily distributable, so not bad. How is the licensing though? Do you have to include the source (GPL) or is that only if you modify the source?



Racket is LGPL - but I'm not crystal clear on the implications for executables - according to the racket team (in this random reddit thread) - it looks like they see stand alone executables as being fine under their LGPL :

Not for long! The Racket community is in the process of relicensing under a more permissive license.
