Comment(by volter):

 libpal's version in Trunk is also GPLv3+, according to the headers.

 The [http://pal.heig-vd.ch/index.php?page=download website] states LPGL3,
 maybe they changed it for newer versions. If pal was only linked, it would
 be OK with GPLv2+.

 But as far as I know, it was changed and changes did not go upstream. I'll
 try to help with that, as time allows.
