Right, all the contributors have agreed to MIT, bar yourself.  I think
we're all pretty easy on this - which BSD licence do you specifically
prefer?  There are multiple 4, 3 and 2 clause licences (some of which
are functionally identical to MIT.)  If you could provide a link to the
licence text you feel is acceptable, I can start doing stuff to
relicence.

If possible, I'd like to avoid having more than a two licences in
NetSurf; we already have stuff under the GPLv2 and MIT.
