So, this seems to be a misunderstanding.
I meant: if the existing MPOsplits code - or a derivative thereof - 
would be integrated into GIMP, then there could be a problem due to 
incompatible licenses
(BSD-style vs. GPL 3). So then there were two possibilities: either the 
MPOsplits author decides to publish his program under GPL v3 or another 
GPLv3-compatible license or
- even simpler - Albrecht asks him for clarification which 'BSD-style 
license' he exactly means and depending on this answer a developer 
decides to use the existing code or not.
I agree with you for the case that MPOsplits original or derivative code 
is not integrated into GIMP and both programs would stay standalone 
products.
Then this clarification would be needless.
