Shame on you Bruce: lawyers don't understand 'just a little change in
the license' We've gotten away with the change by making a good faith
effort to contact all copyright holders, and then assuming that those who
did not respond have assigned/abandoned their rights. And, the biggest
holder of them all, Berkeley, _did_ change their license. Probably a bit
'squidgy' but I think we'd win it in court, not that it'd come to that.
