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,
