as i read it, markEx is not affected by the foreign licenses (most of 
which do refer to obsolete packages anyhow)


futhermore, including the licenses was meant fot the special case, where 
external packages are provided with Gem to run (former AuxLibs, now 
GemLibs). under debian/linux at least i have not used GemLibs for years 
now, as everything is available as packages. i don't know how it is with 
SuSE. (but again, this refers to Gem rather than markEx)

libOrb is not used under linux at all (if i remember correclty)

the only packages that really come with Gem (linux) and are thus 
affected by the licenses are "Particles" and "glm" (the model loader)
(this is how i remember it: i might have missed something...)
