Re: Legal stuf, GPL, ...
EM>> there is a solution. I understood that you don't CHANGE the GPL'ed

GPL states:
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
I.e., you'll have to make all GPL'ed parts separate product. GPL is a
virus, for good or for bad, consider it as such.
