OK, I've probably missed something here -- I don't tend to follow the
licensing discussions too closely! -- but just out of interest, why
does giving it a non-GPL license prevent it being wrapped with Gtk?
AFAICT (not knowing if Gtk has a funny license, I assume it's GPL) the
Artistic should be "compatible" with the GPL, no?

Thanks,
