Why wouldn't FreeBSD use GPL code? They use GCC, right? Doesn't
OpenBSD do that too?
And FYI, GTK is not only for GNOME. It's a standard toolkit on GNU
systems. Many non-GNOME programs use it. You obviously know this as
you are using XFce, another GTK desktop environment.
I don't argue that Emacs should be GTK only, but I do think that GTK
is a great step forward for Emacs. It makes Emacs blend well together
with the rest of the GNU desktop, and I think it will encourage more
would-be users to try it out in the future.
