I agree with that. But think about the case of Diebold receiving the
ghostscript code under the GPL and now facing Artifex's claim that the
GPL is non-commercial... in effect, meaning that Diebold should have
applied for Artifex's proprietary license irrespective of the GPL's
postulate that "nothing else grants you permission" (in GPLv3 speak:
"nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work"). Got it now, Hyman?
