Quite. It does say we shall have all our contributions be
free, and the GPL is just one of the free licenses. But, we are truly
in favour of freedom of software. So I think, at least personally,
anything that furthers free software s good, and that includes a fere
license that infects non-free software, is goodness, since it
promotes stuff we are in favour off. (We like A, B promotres A, so we
are quite likely to like B)
