	Speak to the Gnu project about that: while various
	folks who don't like the GPL will claim that,
	nothing in the GPL actually says so, and the FSF
	lawyers will swear to that. 

	Before believing someone's assertions about
	licencing terms, ask if the assertions aren't
	FUD from a compeditor, intended to make the
	organization look less credible in the marketplace.
