I don't want to divert the focus from the theread, but this subject has a
controversial potential, in my opinion.
I participated in a speech on another list, where I make contributions (IUP
library: https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/)
Where a user, upon discovering that two sub-libraries, were GPL licenses,
caused an uproar, bringing the speech to Mr.Stallman himself.
In short, the best thing for the project will be to remove the two GPL
sub-libraries.
