That sparks the thought that a system value might be useful -- 
QourGPL (pick a name). The value would indicate which user library 
should be considered as the "local GPL". Third-party vendors, 
consultants and even in-house staff could then have a standard 
indication of where stuff should go that might currently get placed 
in QGPL.
