Just a quick note to correct a slight inaccuracy. This addendum to
the GPL license would have to be approved by the original
copyright holders of affected code as well. Right now, for the
relevant persistence code, I think that would be Rickard (and Marc
as his employer?) We may want to make some arrangement for
the general case before the number of copyright holders grows too
large.
I don't mean to go changing other people's licenses without their
permission. :-)
