If they are derived works of GPL'ed software, then they obviously must
be GPL'ed (or else they are illegal). But if the authors obtain an
alternate license from Hans/Namesys, then they are bound by the terms
of that license. (Of course, this case would most likely apply only to
Reiser4 running under a different operating system.)
