*groans*  Another one where the MODULE_LICENSE is different.
Michael, Analog copyright, so if you want to express a view on
the intent that would be great.

My feeling would be that the MODULE_LICENSE is the wrong one given it's
easier to get that wrong than to add an 'or later' to the text..

On these I generally want an ack from the copyright holder anyway
just to be sure everything is in order.

Thanks,

Jonathan
