That makes the most sense.  Software that is genuinely open-source should be 
eligible even if licensing is not GPL.

There is difference of opinion in the open-source community on various 
open-source licenses, and arguments both for and against GPL.

FreeBSD is one example of a non-GPL open-source OS (BSD license) but is just as 
legitimately open-source as FreeDOS.
