Interesting, thanks for pointing that out!

Absolutely not. The story behind this upgrade is that at OEDEM, we 
discussed version bumps as a way for new contributors to get up to 
speed. So when the upgradeable recipes report came in shortly 
afterwards, I just picked something that looked innocent enough and gave 
it a try. I'm absolutely fine with ignoring this patchset for the given 
reasons.

Alex and I actually discussed that in the meantime and we concluded that 
given license notices in the source itself and the description on the 
home page that it actually is only "GPLv3+". But thats just a side notice.

Thanks for the heads up!
