I was unable to locate the open source license. And I have seen "open source"
licenses that are worse than slavery (well, maybe not quite).

Also, guile announces that there is a tcl to scheme interface being worked on.

In any case, different scripting languages would probably find the same
kind of hooks and triggers useful as any other scripting language.
So chances are that both tcl and guile would get along faster whenever people 
start coding it.
