Sure, I could, but it's not really in the spirit of licensing. That,
along with the bundled libraries is making packaging ArgyllCMS really
unattractive right now.

It does, and at also warns of using AGPLv3 and GPLv3 in the same
project if you follow the links. Why did you even want to re-licence
from GPLv2 to GPLv2 *and* GPLv3 *and* AGPLv3 in the first place? It
turned a good project with a few licence problems into a licensing
nightmare in my opinion.

All this is really making me want to not depend on ArgyllCMS in the
future and certainly not include it in a supported product like RHEL.
Sorry to be blunt.

Richard.
