Is it actually necessary to change the license? With the dual-license,
you can keep a single code-base for both BSD and Linux platforms, which
seems terribly important to me. It'd be awful to lose that. It would
be a maintenance nightmare for BSD. Is it even possible--in real life,
I mean--to accept GPLed patches into a BSD project? Nightmare, I tell you!
