Not really relevant, is it? I've written code that has been under GPL (both personal and work projects), but is not a part of the GNU project, contains no code (knowingly) derived from any GNU code, and basically has no connection to or influence from GNU at all on a technical level. Saying it must be GNU-influenced because it uses GPL is like saying that a book (or program) is based on the government's work because it has a copyright notice. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html)
