+I'm glad you are willing to help us and to relicense your PDF::API2 cod= +e. It's
+indeed only a matter of sending us an e-mail message that you grant anybody= +
+permission to use that code under the new license. I can see you like MIT +license and that works for us. Current PDF::API2 maintainer would rather se= +e
+LGPL, but that's not a show stopper for him.
+
+If you want to go with MIT license, just send as a text like this:
+
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 I, Martin Hosken, grant anybody a permission to use my PDF::A= +PI2 code
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 under the terms of MIT license.
+
+If you want to go with LGPL license, then use a text like this:
+
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 I, Martin Hosken, grant anybody a permission to use my PDF::A= +PI2 code
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License vers= +ion 2.1, or
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 any later version.
+
+You can simply reply to this e-mail. That's all we need from you. You d= +on't have
+to make any commits or software releases anywhere.
