Haha. You think you can just snap your fingers, and rewrite dpkg? Do you
know how long it took to get to this point? It took years to become *mostly*
stable(and it still has issues on occassion). Have you even tried to look at
it's source? Do you have any clue how much error checking it does?
ps: please look at it's source; then you won't be able to honestly say you've
rewritten it, as you would be corrupted.

As for relicensing it, fuck off. I need to find a ClueBat(tm) attachment for
the Sodomotron 2000.
