Actually, IANAL is a perfectly-valid response.  IP licensing 
arrangements are complicated and studded with sinkholes and minefields.

I've avoided the issue (I hope!) in my proprietary "stuff" that uses Gnu 
Radio by doing two things:

     o minimizing the "stuff" that I do inside the flow-graph if I can 
conveniently do it outside
     o speaking to the flowgraph via named pipes and moving the 
proprietary and user-goop into non Gnu Radio compiled
        code.

This is probably the safest thing that somebody who isn't a lawyer can 
do without consulting an (expensive) IPR lawyer.
