Thanks for asking, this legal stuff is really above my head. I'll  
check the cvs logs but I guess that I was the only one who ever  
seriously fiddled with the sqlite/sqlite3 drivers. For the package as  
a whole, could every driver maintainer please indicate whether you  
agree with the license change?

Markus
