Hi,

> To answer your questions:

Thanks. I must admit my insecurity was because I misunderstood the original
copyright notice by Dunning - he writes that his license is based upon the
one by the FSF, and I thought it equals the GPL... sorry for that.

As far as I understand it, the problem is specific to the kind of software, 
which, like compilers, generates another program containing parts of itself.
Maybe Adam simply didn't realize GPLing the stuff would cause problems,
and actually wanted to say "here it is, use it if you like". 

Best,
Stephan
