The reason for the question is that moving to GameKit, which is BSD
licensed is a longer term possibility.

The plan that the GE dev team decided on was to BSD or dual BSD/GPL
license all future code to make such a transition possible.

The benefits of this are that GameKit is extremely cross platform -
and can be ported and distributed to platforms that GPLed/LGPLed code
cannot be used

Ie iOS, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, distributed via Apples App
store, as well as Android and supporting our existing platforms
(Linux, Windows, OS X).
