Ouch!!!

But this does raise one of the issues I have with the GPL and the GPL family of 
licenses - the constant confusion around what is and what is not permissible. 
It's a gray area (possibly deliberately so), and most coversations end up with 
numerous opinions being offered, all prefixed with "IANAL, but..". It's that 
and the perception that the GPL ismore about ideology than software that lead 
me to prefer BSD-type licenses for pretty much everything.

IANAL, IMHO, etc etc.
