In the same thread, Bartavelle previously also released his code under GPLv2:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-john-devel/2009-January/000247.html

Balázs above states that "gplv2 would be good for me too".

So it appears we are all happy with GPLv2 and I know Debian are generally
happy with GPLv2.  Why not just go with that?

As per Bartavelle I would also be happy to dual license any contributions
I have made if requested by SD.

David.
