Good day, Michal!
I seem to recall that your re-write was extensive enough that the
license for any code derived from my partition-iteration code could be
discarded; my permission is granted for a license change.
Having said that, H. Peter might have another preference, but otherwise
I would suggest the GPL from the old chain.c32. I seem to recall H.
Peter mentioning something about an MIT license at one point, but that
was probably for something different.
Thank you for resurrecting your effort(s)!

Subject: new chain cleanups - question re. preferred license
I'm preparing a few simple patches that will cleanup few things
regarding new chain - in particular the ones I mentioned in Januray
during discussion with Shao (tone down overkill abstractions, etc.).
One question on a formal side though - which license is preferred at the
top of the source files ? Currently there're two present - either
something bsd-ish (on parts derived from Shao's partition handling
code), GPL (from former chain.c) or in some other files - nothing atm
yet (mostly on files that came from code splitting).
