If "you" = Nigel, that's not so... It's true only where "you" == MIPS
Technologies, a company with lots of lawyers on the staff who will
need to worry their way through any new license.  

If you have a policy of keeping the NetBSD kernel GPL-free, I can
kick-off that process.  But if you can use it under GPL rules, you'll
save me a lot of effort.
