I'm a little too sarcastic for my own good. You could violate the GPL (or any license) if you incorporated code from some other project into GWT. Suppose I released a project under the GPL and somebody took some code from my project and got it incorporated into GWT. GWT would probably be unwittingly violating the GPL because it would be a derivative work of my project and it's not being distributed under the terms of the GPL. I don't think that was the scenario originally presented in this thread, though, and I don't think there's any reason to believe that GWT contains "contraband" code. Also, to contribute to GWT, you first have to sign a document that says your contributions are all "unencumbered" from a copyright perspective (and possibly a patent perspective, too--I forget).
