I think it's important for students to get a historical perspective, in
spite of the argument that it has no place in a technical course.
Mention must be made of the licences but there would be no point in
splitting legal hairs between them. Of course, this will have to go into
the classroom course -- I can't imagine doing practicals on the GPL
except if were a lawyer ;-P !
