As you know, I'm totally in favor of GPL everywhere....I just see it
as unnecessary hoop jumping because of this IMHO arbitrary shared
address space business. basically, I just don't have enough time to
re-write *everything* as GPL :P

In any case....it's really more of an FYI....if people stick stuff in
Drupal CVS, it's GPL'd. What this causes after the fact is not our
problem.
