The GNU General Public License, or <quote>GPL</quote>.
This license is not quite as popular with us due to the
amount of extra effort demanded of anyone using the code
for commercial purposes, but given the sheer quantity of
GPL'd code we currently require (compiler, assembler, text
formatter, etc) it would be silly to refuse additional
contributions under this license. Code under the GPL also
goes into a different part of the tree, that being
<filename>/sys/gnu</filename> or
<filename>/usr/src/gnu</filename>, and
is therefore easily identifiable to anyone for whom the
GPL presents a problem.</para>
