I find the wording particularly interesting. What do you mean by "secure"? I
would guess probably not the computer security meaning. The usual complaint
that people have about MIT/BSD (with respect to GPL) is that people might
come along and "steal" our code and use it in a commerical product. Is this
your concern?
If it is, let me state clearly: "Let Them!".
In any case, the amount of time and effort to re-license our 2 million lines
of code from (guessing) 40 different authors would not be worthwhile without
some radically earth shaking news.
