Guys, ya don't wanna know what a slog this was. We MAY do a write-up about this process at some point but if you want some idea of an example of what this was like, read the following (which was libVLC's path from GPL to LGPL):

Also, just for clarification, "the MAME project is provided under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later as of Git revision 35ccf865aa366845b574e1fdbc71c4866b3d6a0f and the upcoming release of MAME 0.172. Source files may also be licensed as specified in the file header. The license change does not apply to prior versions of MAME."
