It is only an issue if you are trying to use the GPL and also have
non-GPL releases. If you are buying totally into the GPL, then by all
means go whole hog.

However, if you are trying to have a dual-licensed release, using the
GPL means you can pretty much forget about including any external GPL
libraries. That is where we are with both Mambo and Joomla! at
present, and isn't really all that bad.

Well, other than the fact that the first major commercial product from
JamboWorks is now going to be released under the GPL.
