With respect to the licensing it appears to me that if one wants to use the GPL v3 but with additional permissions then under section 7 of GPLv3 one can add additional permissions for a work. For legal advice, for a FLOSS project, the place I would suggest is the Software Freedom Law Center. http://www.softwarefreedom.org They have years of expertise on FLOSS licensing.
At the moment I'm looking to provide support for the testnet chain. The software could be modified to support other chains and maybe the library in the future can be made to be more configurable for custom block chains.
Very cool, will definitely check it out. It would be interesting to have the software allow for multiple chains- a plurality of Bitcoins. A world filled with various chains is quite an exciting idea.
None the less, I will be check this out for sure!

About
cbitcoin is a bitcoin library in development using the C programming language. It is being built from scratch with the purpose of making developing bitcoin applications easier and faster. It is fast to compile and has few dependencies which can easily be replaced or even removed if you do not need them thanks to the weak linking nature of the library. libevent or libev is used for networking and OpenSSL is used for the crypto. POSIX libraries are widely used but are not necessarily needed.
Code contributions, testing and donations are greatly welcome from those that wish to support the development of this project.
List of features either implemented, incomplete or planned:
- Bitcoin message structures including serialisation and deserialisation functions.
- A bitcoin script interpreter.
- Functions used for validation of POW, merkle trees, transactions etc.
- Automated bitcoin handshakes, peer discovery and pings.
- A network address manager.
- Network seeding, including DNS.
- Base-58 encoding/decoding.
- Bitcoin address/WIF functions.
- Hierarchical Deterministic keys (BIP0032)
- Doxygen documentation and well-documented source code.
- Dependencies can easily be swapped and changed by implementing weakly linked functions.
- Implementations included that require libevent/libev, OpenSSL and POSIX.
- Very fast compilation. Much faster than the Satoshi client.
