With GNUstep-Base, we recommend the use of the ffcall libraries, which 
provides
stack frame handling for NSInvocation and NSConnection. "Ffcall is under GNU
GPL. As a special exception, if used in GNUstep or in derivate works of 
GNUstep,
the included parts of ffcall are under GNU LGPL" (Text in quotes provided by 
the
author of ffcall).

All libs are so they claim licensed under the LGPL while the standalone apps 
are
licensed under GPL
