It seems you've done a careful job and I appreciate that. I don't know
any more details about what Junio was expecting. And he's really the one
you should approach at this point.

I do not plan to accept this source into our tree until the git project
itself has accepted the license change on its own. So if the above
analysis satisfies Junio, and he accepts the patch, then we can take it.
