I think that is very small, like a couple % of the code. But, then there are incompatibilities between different agreements in OUR source, and the source of a number of other open-source components that are part of the complete system. I think this latter issue is part of the problem, finding a form of GPL that allows all the components to work together with no conflicts in licensing. (But, I really don't understand all these GPL conflicts well at all.)
