Well with a dual ASL/GPL license you could be free, commercially friendly, 
and GPL friendly.  This would make everyone happy and make POI as widely 
used as possible.  Yes, point taken, I'll address this with the ASF.

It turns out that KSpread is GPL and KWord is LGPL.  So it appears that we 
can't link POI to KSpread unless we fix the license issues.
