People should always check licenses when they are playing with source.
"was that library LGPL or GPL?" "Can I use that GPL program in my
proprietary app? no? well how about X/BSD stuff?"

main means the minimum acceptable, but programs can have conflicting
licenses and still be a part of main.
(the GPL and the NPL/MPL for example)
