95      Q: What license should I use?
96      A: We currently require that all submissions carry the GNU General
Public License
97      (GPL). For more information on the GPL, point the browser of your 
choice to
98      http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html.
99      
100     You don't have to include a LICENSE.txt in your theme or module's
101     directory because there is global LICENSE.txt in the top-level directory
102     of the contributions repository. Furthermore, a LICENSE.txt will
103     automatically be added to each packaged theme or module (.tgz file) that
104     is offered for download at http://www.drupal.org/.


To further confirm this, Inside the acquia_marina tarball, there is a
LICENSE.txt and is a "GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  Version 2, June
1991"  http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/acquia_marina-6.x-2.0.tar.gz

Just to make sure, does this infer that the new D6 theme on
haiku-os.org is indeed GPL?
