Yup, Version 2 of the GPL.

I assume the problem with the GPL is that it would require you to give
away the source code with a binary SDK.  I think that's a price that's
acceptable.  One of the installation options for the binary SDK could
be "do you want to install the source for the GNU libraries?"

The viral clause in V2 of the GPL specifically excepts "words that can
be reasonably considered independent", which would cover the rest of
the SDK.

Either way, I think license checking should be done later.  That way
we won't prematurely rule out a particular module or library.
