Erm, without meaning to be rude in anyway, next time please read my
complete mail, to answer your question and quote from my previous mail:

Point 2 is AFAIK the only probable problem, but I've taken a look at all
copyright headers and there are the following non GPL copyrights:
-BSD (X11) like
-old XFree86 (X11)
-old Wine license (X11 like)
-LGPL
-public domain
These are AFAIK all GPL compatible and thus (IANAL) no problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Hans
