I'm certainly not perfect but if you bother to look at Dream's website: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/drm/index.php?title=Main_Page You will notice they say these words, all in red, on a line by themselves: "Although this software is distributed as free software under the terms of the GPL this does not mean that its use is free of rights of others. The use may infringe third party IP and thus may not be legal in some countries." I would strongly discourage anyone from distributing code that is violating someone else's IP. The code is gpl, that's great, but since it is violating (if I had to guess a US patent) IP knowingly, it puts anyone distributing it at risk. I know I for one won't be distributing such code with my livecd which contains GnuRadio. Obviously anyone else can do what they think is best.
