Well right, it is a separate driver.  But it is only useful if run as
part of gs, which makes them together a single work.  So if we ship
them together we are in violation of license on gs, which is the GPL.

I've already contacted the AT&T people as well.  And received a
similarly polite but clueless response.  Certainly does not engender
confidence in them as a business in my book!  It seems that they are
releasing software under what they obviously intend to be a free
license, but in a fashion which makes the software worthless to
others.  Why they don't just put it into the public domain is the big
mystery to me.  Some lawyer of theirs must have had NIH syndrome or
something like that, and management either doesn't care to fix the
problem or doesn't have the power to.  Either way is a bad sign.
