Description

As jmclean reported on the mailing list :

I notice a number of dependancies are licensed under " BSD License or the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2.", when something is dual licensed you can pick the most favourable one. Currently it's a little hard to determine if this code may contain anything with a Category X license because of the inclusion to the GPL license text.
