Sure we can. Why not? We merely need to note that certain portions are licensed under the artistic license as well as the GPL. Note that by contributing, he was bound by the GPL+xforms license we had, and the xforms exception doesn't appear to be relevant to what he contributed to. Therefore, his contributions are ALREADY probably under the GPL. Anyway, it's inconvenient, and utterly silly, but there is no disputing that he's the copyright holder on his contributions. regards john
