As we do. We distribute the Debian systems, and with every
copy of a Debian system, there si the GPL as an essential
component. It is on the Official CD images. It is on every archive
site. It is on every machine that has a copy of dpkg. It is certainly
on every debian system.
I do not see this as being an issue.
