There are a few problems which prevent us from switching licenses:
- at least one dev of TCVS doesn't want to give us permission to
change the license (TSVN is based in TCVS, and even there's *nothing*
left of that code, it still bounds us to the GPL).
- we have some libraries included which could interfere with other
licenses than GPL.
