sorry, but you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking
about.  PIL uses the original Python license, about which FSF
has the following to say:

    This is a free software license and is compatible
    with the GNU GPL.

and before you spread more license FUD, maybe you should
learn why the *original* BSD license is not considered to be
GNU-compatible:
