I was thinking last night how it's a shame that GNU groff doesn't
include grap as standard.  Having looked at Ted Faber's source
presumably that's because of a licence problem?  FreeBSD versus GPL?

    http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/Vault/software/grap/

If so, is it OK for grap to be bundled in the Win32 port?  I'm not
trying to find fault here, just trying to understand the licencing
issues and what affect they're having.
