Yes. I think I agree. But I want to be completely clear on David's
code. His original code retains his original PDL license. The code that's
included in nano-X and/or MicroWindows is a derivative work, and is not
subject to any terms other than his original terms: leave the copyright
notice intact.
In addition, the "convert to" would be strictly GPL, not LGPL.
What are the semantics of a "conversion", anyway?
