 I notice that gnustep-make generates code for framework
 under derived_src/.
 I think gnupste-make is under GPL2 (and GPL3 later).
 Usually I saw projects add an exception in license
 for automatically generated code so that the framework complied
 by gnustep-make can stay in their own license.
 Just a suggestion.
