The heck with "good idea" - it's unclear to me if Jiri is even *allowed* to remove the BSD/other license. Jiri can release *his* code as GPLv2 only, but I suspect the files as a whole really should be dual BSD/GPLv2, due to the numerous other stakeholders in those files. --==_Exmh_1188408545_2981P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFG1azhcC3lWbTT17ARAqPfAKDxwQPBhROMke8+MfqroU/qgLTRWQCfeLrN WR0bzJ9VaJLrHQlf8hOrCwk= =y6qw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1188408545_2981P--
