Great news.

I don't think so. Under the GPL you are allowed to give *additional*
rights to a licensee (but not restrict the rights in the GPL). See
the section marked "ADDITIONAL RIGHTS" in the file "LICENSE" which
explicitly allows linking with CDraw.

I agree with your point however that the sooner CDraw is GPL'd
the better, whereupon this nit will disappear.
