     10    As copyright holder, if I say it doesn't conflict with the GPL,
     11    then it doesn't conflict with the GPL.

     13    However, there's no point in causing people's brains to overheat,
     14    so yes, I grant permission for the code to be relicensed under the
     15    GPLv2.  Please make sure that this change in licensing makes its
     16    way upstream.  -russ
