Excellent news. Congratulations to everyone and special thanks
to Peter and Robert.

Now, should all the contributors jump in and state their consent with
the relicensing? If so, for my modest contributions, you have it. While
personally preferring LGPL, I'm also ok with MIT.

You might already know, but just in case, there is a new sparse development
tree with some recent commits:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git;a=summary

It probably should become the new official tree, if Josh and Christopher
do not mind.
