I wonder if us relicensing our modified copy would apply to your old copy. I mean, are we sure RMS knows you're also relicensing an old copy, and that the current copy is being relicensed only to avoid future issues. If we're only doing it to document the decision, the fact that hashtab.h and filename_cmp.c are still GPL mostly negates the effectiveness of our change anyway. (i.e. it seems like you can get what you need whether we relicense ours or not, and relicensing ours doesn't have much actual effect). (again, not opposed to the change, just clarifying everything)
