I would take the 3.2.3 tag as the svn base and then apply the diff up to
1383 on a branch so we have the tag and the diff to work with.

The license change was at rev 1384 and the 3.2.3 release was at 1235 so
we
may want to also grab 1383 and review the change history in between.  It
looks like there are quite a few changes in there so some of them may be
worth having.
