[openbeos] Re: OS Propaganda.... A new world order!

It's my understanding of the GPL License, that any GPL'd "code" that is put
a program has to be made available to others. So if you use a BSD license,
and include GPL'd code, then all your required to put forward again is not
all the code but the GPL'd code and any changes made to that code
