Only because it's interesting to ponder, I wonder if the Tristan is
accurate that the code can be (re-)licensed on the copyright holders'
behalf based on the License: statement? That was my first thought, and
second was to use a permissive license (BSD, MIT, AL, etc.) to
preserve the apparent intent of the original author/copyright holder.
