Wrong. The GPL does not allow any addtional license restrictions to be applied
to a GPL'ed package.

If mixing non-GPL'ed sources into GPL-derived packages, all these non-GPL'ed
sources must be GPL-compatible, which in sum renders the whole package GPL'ed
("GPL as umbrella". Individual files under different licenses, the package as a
whole under the GPL)

As the Waqf is not an OSI-approved nor FSF-approved license, with many people
having doubts on the Waqf not being GPL-compatible, I consider this package to
violate copyright laws.

Cf. above. GPL as umbrella.

Blocking FE-LEGAL
