I thought the Pro Version was GMGPL. > Well, yes. "GM" stands for an exception applying to GPLed software. In this sense the "GM" part doesn _change_ the license text, though of course it does permit using of the software in programs that don't use a GPL compatible license. (The fact that GMGPL is just GPL with exception becomes noticeable when you start making changes to GMGPLed software: the exception applies to instance of the software as given to you, not as changed by you.)
