I don't think that was their point. It is not viral in that respect, but
it is viral in that (from what I understand) anything GPL'ed can't get
sucked into another program without that other program being required to
be GPL'ed as well. Thus, everything from then on that uses that
original code must then be GPL'ed. Is that correct?
