After much deliberation, and little or no objection from the community
at large, we have decided to license the open source code base under
the GPL v3 from v5.0. We will continue to maintain earlier versions
of the code base under CPL 1.0 for the foreseeable future.

We'll be releasing the 5.0 milestone, just as soon as we implement the
relevant license changes and clean up those issues that have dropped
into bug database during the discussion period. If we can get this
done by the end of the week we'll release straight away, failing that
the week after the webDU conference.

Thanks for your feedback and ongoing support.
