Yes, you are right. Fixed!

How about that: "Yes, but if the application is distributed then the  
source code must be also released under GPL." ?

I don't think I want to go that way :) There are too many different 
licenses and covering all possible
combinations is impossible (for example, I would imagine that there is a 
GPL incompatible license
that prevents *any* linking with GPL :) ). I feel that it is important 
to cover the 3 major (IMHO) cases:
proprietary code, MIT/BSD and GPL (I've added MIT/BSD column with all 
"Yes"). I am afraid that
even this information (especially in the part that talks about GPL) 
might be incorrect. I am not a lawyer
and I suspect that I just can't read the licenses text because it's 
written in not very well known to me
"lawyer's English" :)
