Hmmm... Okay...
I'm not an FSFanatic, and I respect your choice to go with the Artistic
license.

The Artistic License is more permissive than the GPL or LGPL, so anything
that can be done with a product under GPL is permitted under the Artistic
license.
My conclusion is that the two licenses can co-exist (a few files under
the Artistic license and the rest under the GPL).
Anyone have another opinion they want to share on this?
