 Why isn't every file GPLd?
 Answer:
 * One cannot rewrite the whole software on earth (although i sometimes feel
   tempted to do this).
 * Some packages with a different copyright are just perfectly OK. As long as
   the distribution of unmodified files and patches is allowed i just don't
   care in that case (the distribution of "patches" needs to be allowed in case
   a problem needing fixing arises).
 * I sometimes release files under a different copyright if i see a good reason
   to do so. One such reason is that the file has not a high value and doesn't
   need a copyright protection.
 .
 Please note that the copyright holder of a GPLd file may do as he pleases
 (unless he has accepted major contributions), as does the copyright holder of
 any other file - please direct flames of the "but the GPL forbids this" to
 /dev/null. Some people seem to think that such packages aren't open source
 because of this, but (i'm not a lawyer) i disagree.
