Yes, but if the goal (and I have no idea of Felix's goal) is to
distribute a system that is purely BSD licensed, well, GMP isn't, and
the OpenSSL bignum library (which has all sorts of neat things in it)
is. That means you could distribute compiled applications with no "you
must give us the sources" bits at all. Again, though, I have no idea
of Felix's goals.
