The GMT source tarball includes some non-GPL compatible code that I've attached here. It is not compiled in unless you specify --enable-triangle. My question is, do I have to pull this from source tarball to avoid shipping it in the src.rpm? Thanks!

It looks non-free to me, specifically: Distribution of this code as */ /* part of a commercial system is permissible ONLY BY DIRECT ARRANGEMENT */ /* WITH THE AUTHOR. (If you are not directly supplying this code to a */ /* customer, and you are instead telling them how they can obtain it for */ /* free, then you are not required to make any arrangement with me.)
So I'd guess that yes, you'd have to strip it out of the tarball. However, IANAL.
