Optional dependency is a dependency as well.

Optional dependencies are important for two reasons,

1. These dependencies usually improve the package in some respect.  If the
dependency is proprietary, your package may perform better in some proprietary
environment than on top of any free platform.  Savannah has a policy against
this.
2. Even if your package uses GPL-incompatible software optionally, this may
result in compatibility issues.  The maintainers of the package should
understand this very well.

I'm sorry I have to repeat again, please list your dependencies _with their
licenses_, preferably with a link to the page where the licensing conditions
are stated.

Then the users may wonder what it means for your package to be under the GPL.

Thank you!
