Technically no, but in practice latest licence change convinced us, that in case of any incompatibilities , we will always have a choice to fork. We would like to emphasise, that we want to avoid forking chain, but right now, we do not have to worry so much that some unwanted by us change in the steem code, will kill our project, because we always have a possibility to fork, but as I said - we would like to steem close to Steem :)

Have you considered building the code base in such a way that you could build platforms for other languages easily as well but still use the steem blockchain? Would be great to be able to service users on their mother tongue around the world. Better yet would it be to have it built such way that people could offer translate help themselves.
