I have no problem with it for my contribution, and looking at the full
text of Bruno's and Sergey's changes, I only see:

    Portability fix in lib/inttostr.c.
    Use spaces for indentation, not tabs.
    Change copyright notice from GPLv2+ to GPLv3+.

none of which change the actual code implementation.

Libvirt would be another candidate for using this module (we just
hand-rolled our own earlier this month:
