I think cross posting has confused this thread - I was talking about
snowball not postgres. I don't use postgres at all; in fact, I'm not sure
why this thread was copied to pgsql-hackers at all - sorry for the noise if
there wasn't a good reason.

What I mean is that I use snowball in a project which is GPL-2, and cannot
be relicensed, and snowball changing to ASL 2 would be a showstopper
problem for me for that reason.
