I *know* joel. That is why I stated that appweb license was also 
problematic in my first mail...

Yes. But this also hold for code included in classical GNU project or 
when you want to transfer copyright. I remember having to sign a 
document to transfer code to GDB at some point in time. If the 
maintainer was not doing this he would not have the right to sell the 
new code without all copyright owner agreement.

licensing issues.
