Let me give you the strong advise not to believe in people who claim that the GPLv2 is a non-free license. The claim that GPLv2 software cannot be distributed with other OSS on the same medium is complete nonsense and would make the GPL to be in conflict with the OSS definition: http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php that requires a OSS licesense not to restrict other software. Unless you have a written paper to prove your claims, unless this is based on legaly valid quotes on law texts and license texts and unless you publish the paper so it can be reviewed by lawyers, I propose to ignore this claim. BTW: There was a related discussion on OpenSource.org aprox. 8 years ago as the GPL was declared to be a non-OSS license by the OSI until the FSF send a letter that made clear that the GPL has to be interpreted in a way that makes it compliant with the OSS definition. Unfortunately the mail archives from the OSI only go back by 3 years. I recommend you to ask Russ Nelson about the case.... > There's our patches to libc, packaging and many things..
