The BlackBox open source licence IS NOT GNU. Which is good.
GNU's rigid extremism is bad -- as a matter of principle. For instance, software developed at CERN is not protected at all thus providing for technology transfer into industry etc!

In this regard: CPC contains some GNU-licenced stuff. It might be good to give this issue a thought and perhaps soften the licence.

Cheers
Fyodor
