From dealing with such things in the past, the delay in making the code GPL'd is usually due to the research that is done to make sure that all the code can be GPL'd. EG it didnt come from BSD/X11 code bases or that if it came from the outside that the other authors will give permission that it can be GPL'd. They also are probably needing to do 'background' checks on the code to make sure that a developer didnt take a short-cut and put in code they shouldnt have.
