This sounds highly 'non free' and therefor needs to go through the
legal team from redhat at least.

But after looking thought the sources, I didn't found, where the
polygon module exactly is... Should be somewhere under
site-packages/visual/*, but the only thing I found was
in ./site-packages/visual/primitives.py:
'import Polygon'.

So where is it?

Grepping for "GPC" also brings no results, so at least there will be a
comment missing about the license, if this polygon modules is still
included...
