...which is explained in the above commit message and in the cover
letter. :)

Whether we can relicense it to GPLv2+ after patch 3/7 (which redoes
object instantiation in a way not derived from an IBM contribution)
remained an open question. IANAL.

What we can do, similar to Paolo's solution for central files, is to add
a notice to helper.c that makes new contributions from, e.g., today on
GPLv2+ so we don't need to ask for more people's permission.
