So, you can sublicense Moses (LGPL) but not mgiza (GPL): http://choosealicense.com/licenses/ Which I guess may mean something like that you can re-license a modified version of Moses without symal but not with symal. In other words, to license a modified version of Moses with your own terms, you need to take out symal from mgiza or any GPL or code having some more restrictive license and keep symal that comes with Moses.
