How would GPL limit the wide use of these scripts? I find it's ok that any derivative be licensed the same way. It doesn't force a using software to be completely under GPL, just the derivative scripts of those scripts. It seems to me that the fact that PL/pgSQL is open by nature makes it very easy to redistribute these files or any derivative with the same license without limiting the rest of the software to be under any other kind of license. Does that make sense?
