Doh! Never mind. Seems I *should* go back on my meds, or try
to read text at a rate more commensurate with my humble
cognitive powers.

Strict-GPL fans would of course consider it a virtue. IANAL and
all that, but I think it's possible to release a program
simultaneously under multiple licenses, allowing a recipient
to choose for himself which license he wishes to observe. This
might offer the best of all worlds; the GPL fans could build a
body of GPL-ware within which further derived works would be
GPLed, and other-license folks could go off and do other things.
