bit contains various pieces and snippets from Linus' and your scripts and thus automatically falls under GPL. Maybe I should have stated that somewhere explicitly, but its a 800 lines bash script for crying out loud. The "GNU" part was actually more like a joke. If you feel offended by it, I am happy to remove it. Are there any trademark issues involved in using "GNU"?

PS: Unrelated note. There is a GNU GIT project (some graphical file manager thing or so).
