I think this is the wrong way of putting it. This is not a case of a "non-free application of the GPL". This software is not under the GPL at all; it's under a different, non-free, GPL-incompatible license that's easily confused with the GPL. > Furthermore, such a restricted GPL grant is incompatible with the raw > GPL-ness of src/AnnotateGrepLinesDialog.ui et al. Also, dual-licensing the rest would be relatively useless without dual- licensing these files, too, unless these files are easily removed. -- Glenn Maynard
