Sure, but I don't see that this prevents you from making a permissive licensing
choice for parts of your program where this is appropriate -- I imagine the GNU
project would appreciate the importance of code copyleft not accidentally
overreaching to users' compositions.

If you're restricted to GNU licenses, the GNU All-Permissive license might be an
appropriate choice.

Anyway, I would really appreciate your input on whether (and what) to write to
the Software Freedom Law Center.
