Hello Mike, hello Kevin, hello to all the other recipients.

First of all, I wish to express my gratitude to Kevin for his prompt,
kind and generous response.

I think that this is an important first step to solve this issue for
the best.
Kevin Vigor is one of the copyright owners of the code that was forked
before the re-licensing.
We now know that he intended the re-licensing to be retroactive and
this is really good.

I think that now it would be useful to ascertain that the other
copyright owners (Brian Pane, Zachary Vonler, Gian Filippo Pinzari) are
also OK with this interpretation of the re-licensing operation.

Maybe Kevin is able to dig the original conversations (assuming they
were carried on by e-mail or similar archived means) or otherwise to
get in touch with them and check? Or, alternatively, Kevin could help
Mike to get in touch with them?

I hope everything may be settled for the best soon.
Thanks a lot to everyone involved.
