Now it's "yes, but the two pieces must be separable" (that's extremely
bizarre, to me; since when does the GPL really care about whether pieces
are separable when it comes to compatibility?) and waiting on word from
"superiors" (presumably Moglen, RMS or similar).

Disregard this for now until such word arrives (it's of little use until
I'm given permission to quote the actual text, anyway).
