Did you notice we were all aware of this change by Rémi thanks to our
VCS?
Each and every change is made public so it can be analyzed, studied,
and criticized independently of the others. Right now, or in ten years.
That's incredibly convenient.

That is nice but don't forget that GPL is viral and the changes I sent
to you are GPL, not LGPL as the rest of live555.
So if you use any of Rémi's changes, update the license of the complete
live555 package to GPL.

Or we can make a deal: you start to publish live555 history in the form
of a VCS and we start to license our patches as LGPL.
