I meant to respond to your first note. The bottom line is that if you fork something, the original licence goes with the code. You absolutely can NOT change a licence under any circumstances. Only the original copyright holder can change the licence. If the original copyright holder has given permission to use a different licence then you may do so, but only then. }-- End of excerpt from Martin
