As a user I always avoided those low cost, high postage listings as it just seemed a good way for a seller to avoid refunding the full amount. Refund would always be minus postage costs, so you'd get 1 cent back for your $10.01 purchas

I'm not disagreeing on your overall point, but it can be done (I've done it with 130+, so there's a lot of incumbent process and numerous senior managers to align). The key is having a champion who can tie change in with high

As the author of the GPL code they have the authority to dual licence it, so surely the fact that they state they are fine with it (especially if in writing) would be enough? I'd worry the other way, if you're contributing to the
