Hi Lucho,
luckily both the non-NRV versions of UPX (i.e. the compile yourself
ones, which I have to use in Linux anyway because there are no precompiled
UPX binaries for my ooold libc) and Info-ZIP are find in combination with
GPL license-wise. So if it really bothers you, replace UPX-nrv and RAR by
UPX-open and ZIP. About aPack / sy2pack: I suggest a tiny howto like

1. UPX -d *.*
2. download aPack
3. compress everything again with aPack
4. you have squeezed out a few % of disk space and created a "fine for GPL"
   smaller distro which you may, alas, not spread.

 :-P

Uhm... not "find" but "fine", of course.

Eric.

PS: Why would NASA or DC get pissed if I de-UPXed their software and
aPacked it later? Probably this is related to a de-compression-protected
variant of UPX-nrv... Debug-protection. Usual closed source yucky stuff.
