Great ! Thanks a lot for that.

OK, I'll see with Daniel, I don't see any objection to putting my code 
under GPL2

Actually, I only call policykit itself, and policykit chooses to use the

it'll use it.

As a library developper, it's ok for me as I don't do any frontend 
related work :-) More seriously, I think Daniel will answer that question.
