I didn't see this and I don't think I'm on that list so can't easily
reply there, but I'm OK with a relicensing to any of two-clause BSD,
Expat (similar to MIT but less ambiguous, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License#Variants), or ISC, if the
other copyright holders are also OK with that.  (However, of course I
cannot promise that all the other copyright holders will be OK and I
won't try to persuade them to change their mind if they're not.)

This email is GPG-signed, so please forward it to the list for me.

Thanks,
