Dear Nam,
I doubt that I'm allowed to change licenses at will.  Our
policy is to respect the licence of the supplier.

I also don't see any reason to change licenses at all.  Everything
provided by VnTeX can be used freely.  It makes more sense to ask
Google to accept GPL and LPPL too.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
