If you assign your code to the FSF, you get a grantback which permits you to do pretty much anything you want with it, including providing it under whatever other licenses you may desire. -- `Some people don't think performance issues are "real bugs", and I think such people shouldn't be allowed to program.' --- Linus Torvalds
