bzip2 isn't GNU licensed, just to get things straight (straight from 
www.bzip.org):

"""...because it's open-source (BSD-style license), and, as far as I know, 
patent-free. (To the best of my knowledge. I can't afford to do a full patent 
search, so I can't guarantee this. Caveat emptor). So you can use it for 
whatever you like. Naturally, the source code is part of the distribution."""
