That's nuts.
I can understand GPL issues with the
code, but the
concept also being prohibited is firmly into crazy-land. It's taking everything that's wrong with the US software patent system and re-inventing it in GPL territory. Somebody ought to be hanging their head in shame.

Yeah well, the whole GPL in general is just a sneaky way to charge people for the use of your code. They like to pretend they're making it "free", but in reality, for library level code, they've just changed from charging
money to charging
source code, which requires time and therefore money to produce. At least commercial libraries are up-front about it and (usually) make a few guarantees about quality and support.
