    Looking on the page regarding their choice of license you will find the following, rather charming, text.

    "There's no virual [sic] effect as seen with the GPL here."

    I'm not going rehash the whole the-GPL-is-clearly-not-viral explanation here but I won't be looking at this software because people who spout this kind of rubbish aren't the kind of people with which I like to be associated.
