Thankfully, Carl and Larry agreed to relicense the file unter GPL2+ without
additional restrictions. I added their note with sanitized mail addresses to
the ITP - should be up there soon, dunno why its taking so long to accept my
mail.
I now plan to add that information to debian/copyright as well and possibly
create a patch for the file to change it to GPLv2 that I offer Ric Wheeler for
upstream inclusion.
That is unless someone advises me to handle this situation differently.
Thanks for help,
