I am not an expert on GPL licensing, but I thought it only covered 
modifications of source code or usages of binaries. This would be like using 
Gimp or similar programmes for their express purpose (image editing), and 
expecting outputs (new images) to be covered by the GPL. Not true as far as I 
know.

So creating script files and build files for nAnt to compile is not covered by 
GPL, unless of course you are using GPL'd source code or binaries.

But IANAL either.
