	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?
