Most of the gedasymbols contributions are GPL for *redistribution* but
allow "any use" once they're embedded in a project.

Making the user comply with GPL *after* embedding would be
problematic, for various reasons.

No matter where you pull things from, you really need to understand
the licenses involved and how they interact.  For example: John's
symbols aren't GPL-compatible (because of the "no profiting" clause),
so you wouldn't be able to mix them with gedasymbols symbols and
redistribute them, but you *would* be able to mix them in a *design*.
