I will sign away my copyright to anything i've contributed to GNUnet (and,
if you want, GNUnet-gtk and Extractor; by the way, what's the status of MHD
in this regard? Though my contributions to MHD are very minor, so it
shouldn't matter), on the condition that my contributions are dual-licensed
under GPLv2+ (or GPLv3+, or v4+, or whatever) and LGPLv2.1+ (and i'll bump
v2.1+ to v3+ or even higher as needed). The reason for this is that i've
tinkered with the utility code (mostly its W32 side) a lot and i would
really like to be able to re-use it elsewhere, as an LGPL library or in a
project that is LGPL-licensed (in glib and GTK+, for example).
