The UHD code will ALL be open source.  In ADDITION to GPL it will ALSO 
be available under a license which allows it to be linked into non-GPL 
and/or closed source applications like LabVIEW and Simulink. This is 
commonly known as dual-licensing.  We still need to work out the exact 
wording of this license.

And yes, it would supersede libusrp2.so.

Users will not notice anything different.  We are still committed to the 
same core values of open source and open standards we have always had.
