Well, there might actually be an exception here! The 0.9 code contains a
patch by one Igor Lefterov. Unless Mr. Lefterov also agrees to the change
in copyright, it might have to go back to GPL unless his patch is removed
or unless he agrees to the new copyright.
Since Mr. Lefterov submitted a patch to GPL code, his patch is also GPL
code. That code appears to be incorporated into 0.9.x under the new
license so it appears that 0.9.x has GPL code in it that does not belong
to the principal author(s) of 0.9.x so it must therefor be declared GPL or
Lefterov's code removed.
