Don't know if anyone is still monitoring this, but I can clarify
something about the license: Heyu's source code predates the GPL by
several years, and the original author (and copyright holder) of the
code dropped out of sight in 1986.  Thus the project _cannot_ relicense
itself unless someone tracks him down, or, if he is no longer living,
whoever inherited his copyrights.

It is a highly uncommon situation, but the project is aware of the
license compatibility issues.  They are just trying to respect the
original author's wishes.
