The release client is not GPL because it includes code licensed under
other licenses than the GPL.
But to build the release client, they _do_ use GPL sources (among which
the ones of viewer) together with non-GPL ones.

And guess what... All my patches only apply to the GPLed source of the
viewer.

So, let's do some very high level mathematics...

GPL sources + GPL patches = GPL sources

Wow !... What a discovery !!!

Like I said, LL does not need any license agreement from me to apply
my GPL patches to their GPL sources.

Beside, by posting my patches onto the JIRA, I did implicitely agree
to their license agreement. Citation:

So, what's the matter ?
