I should point out that the bulk of tn5250 is actually licensed with
something *much* weaker than the GPL.  If someone writes a new
tn5250.c then they can put a restrictive EULA on the resulting binary
and not have to contribute anything back.  Much the same as the BSD
and MIT licenses, it's up to their conscience.
