No restrictions.
No restrictions.
Yes. (except if the license of the C library itself forbids it)
To be more precise, restrictions only appear if you modify the ocaml
runtime itself, or distribute executables including other parts of the
system (the ocaml toplevel for instance). Then you must read the
license to see what you are allowed to do.
