Yeah, that would be surprising. The point was this: if I take someone
elses closed source software and stick a COPYING to it, then of course
this cannot result in the software suddenly becoming GPL. 

But if the author of said software sprinkles it all over the place
with licensing declarations (about 200 *.ads files in GtkAda contain
the GMGPL header) then I would believe that this means what it says.
