libjpeg, at the very least.  libjpeg has been working with a perfectly
satisfactory BSD-style license since before GPL existed, and I will not
consider any requests to change its license at this late date.

Now, a BSDish component in a GPLish application is not a problem from
the point of view of the component's license.  If it's a problem from
the point of view of the GPL side, that's your problem not mine.  I can
certainly live with it ... just don't start advertising my code as being
distributed under the GPL, because it ain't.
