I checked the tarball for ndiswrapper-0.12rc3 and don't see a license 
document in there explicitly saying the software is GPL'ed. In fact I 
don't see any license document there, of any sort.

I also checked the website's "wiki" pages and don't see any licensing 
terms either -- or any statements that this is GPL'd software.
