Yes, but this case can't happen, once GPL code is part of darcs.  Any
code linking to darcs in any meaningful way inextricably links to GPL
code we incorporate, reverting to the case above.

So, I repeat, we don't have the ability to both strongly take advantage
of other GPL code in darcs, and make darcs compatible with CPL licensed
code.
