Thank you very much! This would be really a big help to the project.

As we always wrote inside the tar.gzs containing those scripts they were
licenced under GPLV2 or above. So I think the only way is to make those
script first available under GPLV2 or to "dual licence" them.

Maybe it is a good idea to ask what others think, but I would initially
provide them with a GPLV2 header. We have announced the licence change
for the new release which is still not available.
