I share your concerns about licensing and keeping things accurate when it
comes to things like changing licenses, so I took a quick look at the
bsd branch of the jgit git tree, to see if there were any glaring
omissions.

I'm not sure that git-blame is the best way to deal with this kind of task,
but in this case, it worked out well.  From my analysis of git-log output,
the lines of code from contributors who haven't explicitly consented are
maybe 10 lines.  Looks like a job well done to me.
