Verify

1.	If it contains a copy of LOADLIN (or LOADBE or whatever they have
	called it). Strings it for similar strings

2.	Strings the kernel image loaded by BELO(ie LILO) and compare
	it with a strings of the Linux kernel. You should see some early
	messages matching where they have used the Linux bootstrap code
	to uncompress and jump into BeOS (at the moment it seems that 
	beyond that point BeOS is itself not borrowed)

3.	Talk to the Gimp people. There is an issue with gimp modules
	being supplied with source but linked to a wrapper library
	that has no source and is in violation of the GPL therefore
