But is that a "copyright license fee"? some GPL v2 quotes: | Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have | the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | this service if you wish) | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange | for a fee. | BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE I agree that it's a bit irky and I would ask at least one lawyer before considering it (L)GPL compatible.
