You're right, actually.  I just emailed its author, CC'd to Jeff.  I
thought most other hyphenation patterns included in Lout were also under
the LPPL (therefore violating the GPL) but it doesn't seem to be the
case.  The Polish hyphenation file explicitly mentions that its author
was contacted before it was released under the GPL as part of Lout.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
