I don't think Miguel was implying we should change gnome-libs to GPL.  He was
just forwarding it to the appropriate forums as per RMS's request. :)

Besides, I think that changing the license to GPL would legally require
everyone who has copyrighted code in gnome-libs to agree to it.  And ethically,
I'd say it would require everyone in the AUTHORS file (and perhaps even anyone
who has submitted code) to agree to it, and I don't see that happening.

That said, who _does_ have copyrighted code in gnome-libs?
