Right. If you want to completely eliminate the non-GPL code, remove (from the source package) the directory misc
and the file src/muin2ser.f. The only function that will be affected is amif(). The copyright of the non-GPL code
can be found in misc/README.

This mixture of GPL and non-GPL code in the same package is maybe not the cleanest solution and it´s on my todo
list to replace the non-GPL code.
