Hi,

I guess I did this once before but I don't think everyone replied; can
people confirm willingness to relicense their contributions under the
BSD-type license (appended), the GNU Lesser General Public License, and
"all future versions of the Academic Free License posted on and
certified by opensource.org"?

There's not much indication that a new AFL will happen soon, but I want
to go ahead and be prepared for the various eventualities, so we don't
have to have another one of these "everyone follow up on license change"
threads. ;-)

We need the BSD/LGPL approval so people can go ahead and ship dbus.

Thanks,
Havoc
