Well, i was just trying to point out the difference between changing the
licence in one direction and in the other.  Since it won't be changed
anyway this is purely theoretical of course.

Of course i also had in mind future (4.0) licensing, but i doubt there is
much danger that there will be a change to the commercial side.
