Gregory,

Good to see this finally being addressed. One not-so-minor issue below.

I like the X11 license, much more liberal than the BSD I had been
thinking of.

What were the reasons for changing GPLv2 -> GPLv2+? Why not preserve
the author's intent re GPL and do:

GPLv2 -> GPLv2/X11
GPLv2+ -> GPLv2+/X11

Please note: I have no interest is a flame war re GPLv2/GPLv3. No ones
minds are going to be changed at this point. I'm simply looking to stay
closer to the author's intentions and extend the usefulness of the DT
tree.

thx,

Jason.
