That is correct, but how does this fit in with the request for contributions 
that Gabriel issued?  External contributors presumably need to sign a CLA with 
OCamlPro to give them copyright retention over the source code so that you can 
dual license it.  Has Gabriel signed such a CLA for 
https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-builder/pull/27, and are other contributors 
expected to do the same?

I was referring to the copam library here: 
https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-builder/tree/master/libs/copam
which appears to be a standalone library and not a patch under OPAM. I haven't 
looked closely or built the opam-builder sources myself due to the licensing 
concerns, however.

Anil
