Agreed. 100%, if I see GPL, I dive right in. Otherwise, it takes too 
much time to read a license -- I'd rather search for an alternative 
GPL'ed equivalent, regardless of functionality unless it's really 
terrible or lacking. Picasa, hmm, looks good, but f-spot and the gimp 
are all I'll *ever* need. The usual no one ever thought they'd need most 
of the programs/functions etc. caveat applies here...
