Hi,

Changing subject so not to pollute the Singa VOTE thread.

So it seem the GPL with this special exception are OK to distribute. [3][4]

Looks like our documentation may need to be updated/clarified in a couple of 
places.

For instance:
- The "GNU Free For All” license is not listed as a Category A license [1]
- Special exceptions to the GPL are not allowed [2]. Except for this special 
exception that is!
- When distributing GPL software with this exception do we need to mention so 
in LICENSE? Do we also need to distribute GPL text in COPYING as indicated in 
the header text?
- Should the text under the built tools question mention GPL with this special 
exception as OK? [3]

Thanks,
Justin
