What difference does it make for the end-user? I want a program that works well, not its header files.
These things matter boatload with your liabilities and obligations. For normal use, not so much most of the time. However, if you say, edit a config file, and forward it on with out source, you can be considered in violation with GPL (especially 3, when that comes out
) It is good to know, just in case. It should be noted that people should read the licensing that comes with each product, as BSD, GPL, and most other open licensing is amendable.
