I don't understand your fixation on the GPL, as even a GPL-incompatible 
license would allow it to be distributed on FOSS operating systems like 
Debian or Fedora. The important principle, which you've been ignoring 
for some reason, is that you can redistribute the source along with 
modifications. This is not special to GPL, and is fundamental both to 
open source and Free Software.
