Just one question. If a contribution is already based on some previous 
LGPL-only licensed contribution it may not be licensed under X11. I hope 
this is clear. Otherwise it might happen that in a few months we suddenly 
discover that a big amount of our work was based on some LGPL software.
On the other hand I don't know how strict this is. For example if some 
contributor makes an LGPL small bugfix to a code fragment. And then another 
guy takes that bug-fixed code, improves it, and wants to license it under 
the X11, is that possible? Or is one small bug-fix enough to enforce the 
LGPL on all future improvements of that software?
