    okay so i misread the message, my bad.

    but as the zlib license is so free and i dont think we actually make any
    changes to it anyway it does not matter one whit that we dont spell out
    the fact that it is in fact NOT covered by the GPL

    Stallman warns against relicensing stuff as GPL from BSD style
    licenses just for the sake of it)
