Nah, Dan was just looking for bad excuses why he didn't get this done
earlier. ahah :)

More likely, what happened is that he planned to work on this patch to
review/improve it, and so he could have fixed the license change in
the same time.
But he didn't have the time to do it right away, and looking at it
months later, he forgot you already gave your agreement to keep the
license.

Maybe just to be safe, it would have been better not to change the
license from the start, even for a big rewrite.

Btw the list of fixes and performance improvements does look nice, and
the diff looks nice too.

Now that I am back on bash, I suppose I could give that a try.
Thanks for your work !
