GNOME negotiated their release, so they're the ones hyping it. The final
versions will be released under some kind of freely redistributable
license, so they can be distributed independently, as part of GNOME, as
part of KDE, as part of XFree, or as part of any distribution. I believe
GNOME will roll them into 2.4, too.
