I posted the link to the license file in the repo. I don’t think I can do much

they see fit. They have not restricted themselves from distributing stacks 
under licenses other than the GPL.

If this were the case then they would have trouble putting the engine together 
at all as none of the libraries they use are GPL otherwise they could not 
distribute a commercial engine...
