Before people point out my oversimplification here I thought I'd do it
myself: it depends on how the GPL & non-GPL software interact. As has
been previous noted here, things like artwork and text files can stand
on their own without, say, the kernel and so do not become GPL'd.

I'll stop now as this is OT.
