Most of the code has been rewritten.  For the other code, LGPL allows converting to GPL, if
I understand Section 3.

I'm not sure what all this means if not tested in court, either.

Every place I have asked so far there has been debate about the point if using GPL code in a 
project forces the other code to become GPL or open source.  It's not clear and AFAIK never 
been tested.

And I'm running out of gin.
