I knew from the beginning anything related to license will be fun. :-)

In this particular case, I don't think I need to get confirmation from
all rights holder because they've agreed to the licenses listed in
the comment. I'm merely fixing a bug in code.

I understand people have different opinion on how this should be
interpreted. And I'm not a lawyer. Let's just leave it be now and divert
our energy to more useful things in life.
