That's fair, thanks for looking into it! I was unaware of where to
include that information. I have added Adam Nelson and my name (can
remove this if necessary, just did it to be complete) to the license
comments and switched the `srfi-214.scm' file to the expat license for
now.

Note that I kept the GPL license in the srfi-214.test file, given
that the README in test-suite/README says:

I have not assigned my copyright to the FSF, but can do so if
necessary.

Great, will wait for that. I have attached the latest version of the
patch.
