So that's why they gave us the sources! Their FTP server is still
commercial closed source, IIRC.

I gave up on ncftp the day I discovered yafc. Much better.

Anyway, on my system, an rpm -q for libraries with a grep for [^L]GPL
came up with 12 matches. So I guess GPL'ed libraries are not all that
uncommon.
