I authored the file for IBM and they hold the copyright, so the change is permitted.

Okay. I've asked and the query is being resolved internally. I'm not sure when
that will occur though, so I'll relicense it in a future patch if the request gets
the go ahead. Just for the record, what's the motivation for the dual license?
Understanding why will likely help resolve the request.

Right, it just wasn't clear to me how much effort was involved. Having
hacked around a bit now I've found it's not so much.

Thanks for your feedback.
