Ah, that makes a lot more sense.
For what it's worth, to my knowledge any of the files that could
potentially need relicensing are the sole work of Rich Felker. (before just
whole-sale doing that, though, I would recommend that we confirm that; my
general feel != legal certainty, and if an actual licensing change does
need to happen here, legal certainty is what we want)
