And I have had several hints that it was used anyway and violating the
license.  But that is another story.

If there is a compelling reason to change the license, like to increase
the adaption of mail encryption, I am willing to consider that.  I am
able do that for most of the code but there are some practical
drawbacks, like the ability to share code between the other libraries.

The bug tracker allows to file feature requests ...
