As long as the checks don't link to us, and they simply return TAP output, there is no such requirement, I believe. When it comes to linking, I'm not clear what that means ATM.

It was a long time ago I studied licensing stuff and I don't remember much. But as a rule of thumb, I have no objection against GPL3+. And it shouldn't prevent us from using GPL2+ libraries and code, just GPL2-only, I believe. So the impact doesn't seem that bad.
