We failed to follow the normal guidelines, and I've heard the reason
for that in some of the cases, but that was a long time ago. IMO,
that was a mistake, for several reasons I don't want to detail here.
However, as you have noticed, because the FSF is not the copyright
holder of some of the files, we couldn't update the license to GPLv3.

I only see 2 "sis" files: erc32/sis.[hc]. Are these the files you
are referring to? I don't know how "easy" it's going to be doing
that upgrade, since the FSF does not hold the copyright to these
files. I don't think we can upgrade the license on our own, can we?
