More importantly, the process we're following is based on the SFC's (and 
its lawyers) recommendations on how to handle the matter. What the SFC 
asked us to do were things like trying another round of identifying the 
contributors and contacting them, and to post our intent to change the 
license. Interestingly, they didn't feel it was necessary to rewrite 
every last line that anyone ever touched even though we had offered it.
