I guess if you expand the acronym GPL.. that is true (GNU Public Licence)
:-), but to my knowledge we've never been a GNU project.

The g=3DGNU or g=3DGPL misconception is a common one I think, one which the
original authors corrected me on in the past.

Anyhow - perhaps venturing off topic for this thread.

Best wishes,

Peter
