Unfortunately, as I have changed jobs, I no longer have access to the emails in 
my redhat.com account. While I am happy to swear to the accuracy of my 
statement above, I can not provide evidence to that fact.

@spotrh : If you are not comfortable posting the mail from Mr Estes here you 
can also forward it to pmatilai or myself.

No problem on my side for relicensing to MIT.

Hmm? Commit 9ba41db is from @vuntz, whose ack we seem to also be missing here. 
And then there's commit e9c13c6565cf4782d1f73255ee9144dd9bd2aca7 from 
@pavlinamv .

Ok, looks like this has stalled. 

@spotrh  can you please post the email from Mr Estes? I'll take care of the PR 
and everything else after that.

You might want to have a quick look at 9ba41db49f2f74465de1fa35e4b6127bc34c4106 
to check if we need permission from @pavlinamv but I guess that's not enough to 
be copy rightable.

Seems we now have everybody's ack for the license change. @spotrh , a PR would 
be nice since you know the details best. And would actually feel more 
comfortable about accepting it after seeing Mr Estes email about the subject.
