I was just about to put out a complete patch set for all of DFP. In earlier feedback, Richard had suggested that I go further upstream inside of IBM ... which I did. But of course, that is also GPLv3. The original copy comes from here : http://spelotrove.com/decimal/#decNumber which was published with something called the ICU 1.8.1 license. I am not at all familiar with that license. Looks like I'm going to have to "lawyer up" :)
