Not if you don't use bbkeys.

This is where it gets interesting. You see, bbkeys is GPLd, and
fluxbox is not. It under the "noble" BSD licence. src/Keys.cc includes
some reference to the GPL, and a couple copyright notices, but does
not include a copy of the GPL, and also changes the licence. I am not
sure that Jason Kasper and Ben Jansens allowed for this, but I pretty
certain they did not.

How noble.
