Congrats Relicensing Project!

Gerv announces that the Relicensing project is complete. Congrats Gerv and everyone else who doggedly pursued this over the years. Part of Mozilla's mission is preserving choice, and making our code available under a variety of flexible licenses helps ensure that by allowing other projects to make use of it. This was a formidable task and a great accomplishment.

Good work Gerv and anyone else who helped out :)

And yet you've just added 2 new unlicensed files to the codebase - mozilla/browser/components/preferences/selectBookmark.xul
mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/preferences/selectBookmark.dtd

From bug 331755, attachment 217034.

Oops. Note though: almost no .dtd files are licensed. Is that a problem? The L10n teams prefer .dtd files not be preprocessed.
