There is no restriction on the use, copying, modification,
redistribution of the code, which is what the GPL covers.
Since these restrictions do not exist, there is no conflict with 
the GPL.  Feel free to point out any case law which contradicts 
this however, I'd definitely be interested in reading up on any 
legal precedents.
