I don't know about NetBSD, but I certainly do not consider the GPLv3
acceptable, and won't use GPLv3ed code even if that means freezing my
NetBSD participation.  I simply can't tell whether a contemplated use
of covered code is permitted, even something as simple as compiling
source and running the result - which I consider unacceptable in a
copyright license.  (I suspect that particular case is permitted, but
my reasons for thinking so are not based on the license itself.)
