Re: Question about AS licence

If my Tcl application uses Tile extension (or any other included in

Yes. The extensions in ActiveTcl all have cooperative BSD licenses.
(The overall ActiveTcl distribution - including their installer - is
something else, but you're not looking to redistribute that.)

...and if it's ok, then what licence should I apply to the starpack?

Your own. You might want to include the appropriate license.terms file
inside the internal VFS with indications that it only applies to the
library. I don't think that's likely to be a big problem. :-) With my
Tcl Advocate's hat on, I think it's probably also a good idea to
mention that you're using Tcl, Tk and Tile (and whatever else you are
using) somewhere in the documentation. We like being advertised. It's
not a formal requirement though as I understand it (this sort of case
is why formal advertising requirements can be tricky) so ignore if it's
difficult to do.
