I think that's a good idea. I'd prefer 'GNUstep Frameworks' for the  
name of the development framework, though. It makes clearer what it  
is. ('GNUstep Core' could also be the name of the GNUstep Base Library.)

For cooperation with Etoile and inclusion of existing applications,  
it would be helpful if the license requirements allowed to include  
code which is not GPL-licensed.

True. It definitely lacks. I vote for it. :-)
