And all you have to do to distribute uder a GPL licence is ths bake sure 
that there are no certification marks in it.

That doesn't mean you can't have source code that can be compile-time 
parameterized with a certificatin mark.

But anyone modifying the certiied source code will presumably have to 
have it recertified before using the certification mark on it.
