Not as I read the licenses; the GPL requires that if you distribute the
result, it must *all* be distributable under the GPL...and most of our
code cannot be distributed under the GPL; certainly not that with
advertising clauses ("must bear the text...contains code by J Random
Hacker...").

At least as of last time I read the GPL.

Does the license contain an advertising clause?  (Which file?  I should
probably just go read the license myself rather than asking questions
about it here.)
