Not sure about that....

No, you misunderstand what I'm saying. They can't change the license
in any way. It's currently under GPLv2+, and if they would like to
change it to LGPL or BSD or ..... they can't.

Personally, I don't really care much about this, just want to know if
I can say "Copyright Erik Bågfors" on stuff I create for bzr or if I
should say "Copyright canonical"...
