Nope, sorry for the confusion.

Code in gnuradio.org should be GPLv3 and assigned to FSF.  Using code
outside of the repo is fine as long as the outside code has a license
that is compatible with the GPLv3.

You just reinforced the confusion.

This branch:
<http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/branches/developers/brickle>
*is*, obviously, on gnuradio.org.
However, you then say:

> Code in gnuradio.org should be GPLv3 and assigned to FSF.

I invoke the law of the excluded middle and claim that both assertions -- non-FSF-assigned is OK,  and Code...should be...assigned to FSF --
cannot hold at the same time :-)

What am I missing?
