But the reverse is not? Okay, my hackles are raised now... Using a chunk of
GPLd code in my BSD application would ensure mailbombings and dire announcements
on legal letterhead. Although the BSD license liberally allows use of chunks of
code in other applications, to call this "fair use" implies that I can do the
same with *ANY* other licensed source code.
