You also seem to think that since YaST is on the same CDs as >software that is GPL, then YaST must also be GPL - not so in the slightest,
Also true. But how was YaST created? Was GCC used? Or did SuSE create their own compiler/interpreter for this?
It doesn't matter. The output (in this case the YaST binary) of GPL programs is NOT required to be GPL unless the output contains part of the GPL program. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#WhatCaseIsOutputGPL -rex Why did the mathematician name his dog Cauchy? Because he left residue at every pole.
