Branden said it looked OK on IRC, so I went ahead with the patching. If
you read the project's mailing lists, you'll see lots of comments about
the 1.1 license, for example:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7730841

and this thread:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7599303
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7599305

Also, all source files have only the "MIT license" header -- if that
means anything .
