We'd already agreed to move dbmirror to pgfoundry, but it just didn't
get done for 8.1. I had not thought of pgfoundry as a reasonable
solution for userlock, but maybe that's the best thing to do with it.
A better idea would be to contact the module authors and get them to
relicense, but that might be hard. Dal Zotto at least hasn't been
seen on these lists for a long time :-(
Here is the most recent feedback we have from Massimo:

Which means thus far he did not agree to the license change. Can we just
move the stuff over to pgfoundry and be done with it?
