Comment:

 we can't change the license to BSD or MIT or anything else because it uses
 bits and pieces from many different sources, including Apple Open Source
 files.

 So we're stuck with a mixture unless some lawyer can sort out a way
 through differently.

 All the source is open for use, however, none is GPL3 or restrictive.
