| | You've missed my point.
| | 
| | Changing a license w/o the original author's permission is illegal.

| | redistributing this illegal software.
| | 
| | Please do not make us part of this license violation.
| 
| This is a port.  We are not distributing it in the base system...
| What do you want?   Nobody changed any license here.  
| So you mean that when we redistribute GPL software, we change the
| license?  Will you make yourself clear?

Would including a GPL license in the code be satisfactory to you?
