[Bf-committers] what is the license of Blender GLSL shaders?

Hi,
I understand that Blender code is under GPL/BF licensing.

But if I use the command (added on rev. 40061):
shader = gpu.export_shader(scene,material)

Is the shader still GPL/BFL? The shader is made of snippets of Blender code,
so I can see what lawyers may clam. And technically speaking a GLSL Shader
is a program (compiles and run in the GPU).

It would be really sad if this is the case though. Otherwise this could be
used for external engines.

Thanks,
Dalai
