My 2 cents, it seems like since everything in Debian is an open-source license, the libapreq2 package is released under its native license, and Robert Stone contributed the patch to the Debian mailing list for inclusion in the package with the license as it stands in Debian (which is the same), that his act of contributing the patch, which included no additional license stipulations, was implicit authorization to use it and include it in the Debian package. Since the Debian package is the same license as the native source, you should be able to lift it under those terms. Mark
