Hi there Sylvana,

KK's advice is what I was going to suggest, but I think he is also right
that it may be a nightmare...

I am in the process of obtaining consent from contributors to switch to
the BSD license (upon which I'll release 1.0.12 which will be identical
to 1.0.11 but BSD-licensed), which should help keep things easier. :)

Thanks,

Ryan
