A quick search online for licensing questions regarding TeX packages seems to 
show that the typical answer is "off-topic" :o)

That said, IANAL, but curly.tex's redefinition of \writ@staffs I think gives 
sufficient case it must be GPL in order to comply with MusiXTeX's licence.

Out of curiosity, why can't they simply be renamed (e.g. musixcurly and 
musixtuplet, or something?) and given proper headers like other MusiXTeX 
modules?
