I *MY* opinion, Vim's license is *more* free than the GPL. The GPL
requires that any derivatives also use the GPL for their license. I'm
simplifying (see :help license), but Vim allows you to choose your own
license for your modified version. If I understand correctly, the only
conditions are that Bram reserves the right to get and distribute your
source code without fee, and you can't set restrictions on anyone from
distributing the executable.
