You have my permission to change the Southern Storm Software, Pty Ltd 
Copyright from GPL to LGPL v2.

I would probably prefer LGPL for all of it, just in case someone wanted to 
move some of the binary code into the common library at some point in the 
future.  The L in LGPL means "Lesser", not "Library", and can just as easily 
apply to things that are not (as yet) libraries.  Having one license for the 
entire code tree will make it easier.
