Hello,

I am Tomas - developer of createrepo_c project 
(https://fedorahosted.org/createrepo_c).
I've recently finished a sqlite module for the project 
(https://fedorahosted.org/createrepo_c/browser/src/sqlite.c).
In the module, I am using pieces of code from the yum-metadata-parser.

I've been notified by [email protected] that y-m-p is under GPLv2 but my 
createrepo_c is under LGPLv2.

I want to confess my fault and make a apology for bad use of your code.
At the same time, I would like to ask you (involved authors of y-m-p) for 
permission to relicensing some affected pieces of yum-metadata-parser code from 
GPLv2 to LGPLv2.

The affected code pieces are from db.c 
(http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum-metadata-parser.git;a=blob_plain;f=db.c;hb=HEAD),
 namely, this functions:
- encoded_package_file_new
- encoded_package_file_free
- package_files_to_hash
- yum_db_create_dbinfo_table
- yum_db_dbinfo_update
- yum_db_create_primary_tables
- yum_db_index_primary_tables
- yum_db_package_prepare
- yum_db_package_write
- yum_db_dependency_prepare
- yum_db_dependency_write
- yum_db_file_prepare
- yum_db_file_write
- yum_db_create_filelist_tables
- yum_db_create_filelist_tables
- yum_db_package_ids_prepare
- yum_db_package_ids_write
- yum_db_filelists_prepare
- write_file
- yum_db_filelists_write
- yum_db_create_other_tables
- yum_db_index_other_tables
- yum_db_changelog_prepare
- yum_db_changelog_write

db.c authors via git-blame on db.c:
- James Antill
- James Bowes
- Paul Nasrat 
- Seth Vidal
- Tambet Ingo

So my question:
Would you mind if I relicense the mentioned pieces of your code from GPLv2 to 
LGPLv2?

PS: Should you require any additional information, do not hesitate to contact 
me.

Best regards
Tomas
