My understanding is the "gnu" part of gnuplot name is a happy (for them)
historical accident, and gnuplot has no connection with the FSF's GNU
packages.  So, IF gnuplot changes to a non-free license, I expect they will
leave the name the same.

But regardless of what they do on the licensing or name, it is still
interesting to think about implementing an import filter from a gnuplot
script to a plplot script to ease the transition for those gnuplot users who
want to give plplot a try.  So I would like to hear from anybody here who
will admit (;-) to recent gnuplot experience whether they think such an
import filter is even possible.
