To paraphrase what Thomas said to me: This is all free software, we should be able to use free software with other free software, damnit.
And you are! You *are* free to use any free software with any other. The only problem is with distribution of binary/compiled/linked packages :) Install everything from ABS and you are 100% legit
It seems to go against the spirit to do things like this. I like this sentiment. I mean, I get that there are zealots out there who strongly believe in their Chosen License as if it were a soccer team, but seriously - it's all free software, and we may be subtly violating the letter of the license, but the letter of the license is violating the _spirit_ of the license.
