So let's recap: 1) Jiri submitted a borked patch that changed the licenses. 2) We didn't accept said patch. 3) There's then a whole big fuss about a *NON EXISTENT PROBLEM*. I could see where the *BSD people could complain if we had *accepted and distributed* said patch. But it was wrong, we recognized it was wrong, and the system is working as designed. So let's quit the flamefest already. Geez.
