I like the X11 license, much more liberal than the BSD I had been thinking of.

What were the reasons for changing GPLv2 -> GPLv2+? Why not preserve the author's intent re GPL and do:

Quoted 7 lines
	GPLv2  -> GPLv2/X11
	GPLv2+ -> GPLv2+/X11

Please note: I have no interest is a flame war re GPLv2/GPLv3. No ones minds are going to be changed at this point. I'm simply looking to stay closer to the author's intentions and extend the usefulness of the DT tree.

Why not simply ISC it? Wouldn't it be better than dual-licensing?
