I looked at this license some time ago when Jon was getting together the
RexxTill program. I just reviewed it quickly.
I have no objection to changing the license.
Having said that, the details of what changing the license entails are
unclear to me. If we change the license on say, February 1 2012, does that
mean all contributions after that date are under the new license, but prior
contributions are under the old license?
If prior contributions are changed to the new license, maybe a moot point
if that is not the case, won't we have to get some type of formal agreement
for every prior contributor? Including IBM?
