I use Nivo Slider and so do a lot of other sites that create "free"
GPL templates/themes and it's released under these licences.

And that's why stuff that is released "Strictly" under the
GPL only, is finding it so difficult to get programmers and theme makers, or anyone else for that matter to support it.
