    Ubuntu is an aggregate work of many works, each covered by their own licence(s). For the purposes of determining what you can do with specific works in Ubuntu, this policy should be read together with the licence(s) of the relevant packages. For the avoidance of doubt, where any other licence grants rights, this policy does not modify or reduce those rights under those licences.

    So basically, GPL will be used pretty much everywhere in Ubuntu. This is a really really nice move.

      Careful with non-copyleft licenses such as MIT/BSD. These licenses allow additional restrictions on top of them, so you might run afoul of the distribution clauses Canonical imposes when distributing packages under these licenses.
