[AThornquist]

Who is that guy? Is Gpl short for something?

The first thing to come to my mind when you say GPL is General Public License (but then I'm a tech-head from the word go!) What is the context?

My best guess: it's a GPL smiley. GPL as in General Public License.

My best guess: it's a GPL smiley. GPL as in General Public License.

So you mean the smiley here is named after a General Public License?

GPL = Guapiles Airport

I'm betting it's the initials of some character, fictional or otherwise, who wears a top hat and monocle. But I can't think of who it would be...

edit: Or a magnifying glass. I'm having trouble making up my mind.

Glad I wasn't the only one to think of the GNU General Public License when I saw this thread!
