Doesn't matter, the binary can't be GPLed. If it were, the license 
would conflict with what we are licensed[*] to do. Now, we could make a 
non-commercial release, but the only reason we can do that is we don't 
depend on any other GPL code (Adam owns all the copyrights).

[*] It's not technically what we're licensed to do, more what we
     are granted permission to do under whatever the patent laws are.
