(Not looking at centepede here) : POI can even use GPL for building. There is an exception when a buildtool adjusted the content of the thing it processes (don't get me on legal stuff here though :). It is written down in the gpl fag on fsf.org. httpd else would have to be gpl too, since it may use gpl'ed buildtools to get it build, which is clearly not the case.
