tags 538990 + pending thanks Hi Simon,
Thanks for picking up on my oops here so quickly. I've spoken with Jean-Marc about this, and he's both aware of the issues and willing to accommodate us with a suitable licence for main. It's kind of a crazy week for him right now but we should have a formal statement on that before too long, and I'll update the package copyright when we do.
