Excuse me but why is this being discussed again? The was an extensive
discussion on arch-dev-public in the past. Decisions were made.
If you have anything against how GPL licenses are treated in the
PKGBUILD license array please read the discussion and comment on it.
Dont start a new discussion from scratch.
