I think that's a good plan. :-)

Well, I hate to be a stick in the mud on this issue, but if it's not the BSD 
license, the exact same that is on avr-libc, then I cannot contribute to it, 
and it's very unlikely that it will be distributed with WinAVR. The BSD license 
is very liberal, in that it allows anyone to do anything with the code. Just 
don't claim that you wrote it when you didn't, and don't use the author's names 
to promote and advertise your product. This license also allows users to 
incorporate the code into commercial products without releasing the rest of 
their proprietary code.
