1. I'm not a lawyer to comment on the "more GPL than BSD". But the code
has been here since 1996, so I suppose that the license is compatible with
BSD.
2. Before importing new version I discussed with peter possibility to move
it into contrib/, but he told that for such slim program it is not really
necessary (for example we have zlib under src/lib/zlib, not under
src/contrib).
