umh, I wonder why dh adds the trigger, then.
Well, I think I'm going to ignore this particular thing and postpone it
to the new version where several other things will change.

The license is correctly reported on most of the headers, and in
/COPYRIGHT.  It's a MIT-like license, unluckily not Expat.
If I were you I'd probably use the name 'custom' for it.

I'm positive bdale intended to use the same license as upstream, yes,
contacting him is better.  He is usually responsive (at least via IRC).
(clearly I'm talking about bdale, I think it's safe to assume the other
are ok with that license).


Please address this thing of the copyright and then I'm good to upload
it :)
