It seems my filters meant I never saw this email - sorry about that.

You, SIPB, and IS&T have my permission to re-license any and all of my
contributions to Debathena under any license approved by the OSI as
you see fit, including but not limited to BSD 3-clause, GPLv2, or
GPLv3.

(I have a mild preference for a BSD-style license)
