    1515    * New file versions are: DB.pm 0.4.0. 
     16 
     17    * (DB.pm)  The whole Muldis DB core, that is, all code in this 
     18    distribution, has been re-licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public 
     19    License version 3 or later (LGPLv3+).  Also, the current plan is that 
     20    the LGPLv3+ will be used as the license of many separately distributed 
     21    Muldis DB extensions started by the same author, such as some 
     22    implementations over SQL databases, or such as example code in 
     23    tutorials/cookbooks; or some extensions would be under other 
     24    GPLv3-compatible licenses.

    232 going away soon, some of their functionality being moved into DB.pm and or 
    233 Example.pm.  Therefore, the above license terms mean that the LGPL will 
    234 soon cover just the tiny part of this distribution that is mandatory to use 
    235 the Muldis DB framework at all (because it defines the role/interface that 
    236 every Engine does).  Furthermore, the majority part of this distribution 
    237 that is covered by the GPL will soon not be mandatory, but optional, when 
    238 using the framework.>
