I've got some response to my request for a change to LGPL or some
other free license from the author:

Personally I have no problem with this change to the license, but I will have
to check with Marc Levoy (my former advisor).  Stanford owns the rights to
the software, not me.  I believe that University policy allows for a
less-restrictive license as long as the professor associated with the project
agrees to it.  I will get back to you on that.


Kind regards

 Andreas.

Shame on me - this is defintely a problem and would at most qualify
fro non-free.  I must have overlocked this critical part.  I'll try
to talk to the author.

Thanks for the hint

Andreas.
