Rest assured that the gnucash developers are just as concerned about
this stuff as you are.  We absolutely do not want to use any component
that makes any problems for distributing gnucash under straight GPL,
nor do anything that would cause Debian or other free software
distributors to consider gnucash to be non-free in any way. We cannot
and will not be cavalier about software licensing.
