Thanks you, perfect.

I think we can reasonably back-patch that to the 1.1 tree for
distribution, so we don't run into trouble when claiming monotone to be
GPL-2+. I'll have to do that for Debian. (I'm surprised nobody noticed
that for the entire lifetime of 1.0 in Debian...)

Well, quite some time has passed since then.

With a release manager's hat on, as well as from the Debian Maintainer
perspective, I'm glad we can now have that discussion independent of the
release process. Thanks again, for quick and easy clarification.
