If Win32Lib were GPL'ed, anything written in Win32Lib would be GPL'ed as
well. So if you wrote something using Win32Lib and wanted to release it, you
would have to release your source code as well. That's pretty much the kiss
of death for any commercial developer.

On the other hand, it's great if you *want* your source code to be open, and
always remain that way, GPL looks great.
