Does, for example, BSD license impose limitations on linking ? Or Apache license ? "it is not compatible with GPL" - we've already beaten that dead horse to sub-elementary particles, ans the _solution_ (from end user point view) is: build from sources locally and do not distribute the binary. GPL is not an issue/a cause to fight for, end user benefits are.
