but fog's stuff in ldaplib/... has "GNU General Public License"(sic) in it.
[just an english note: licence is a noun, and license is a verb...

so.. heres a plan for you, michael-
=091) choose licence
=092) mail the GPL authors asking if its okay to degrade/unify their
=09   code under the new licence
=093) rm the files that are unmaintained?
