Xchat, What on earth ?

As you all know, Windows xchat binaries are now distributed under a shareware license, And not under the GPL anymore.
A quote from here: 2) My particular Windows release is not released under GPL. Since people's source (patch) contributions have not stated any terms, I have decided to release this under Shareware, to protect the extra work I have done to make a good Windows release. However, I'll always respect peoples wishes. If someone has contributed some code and want it removed, you only have to ask (mail me personally), and it will be done. If this happens, I'll just rewrite the code myself, AND release it under GPL for your pleasure.
Now since I have a tiny patch there, I'm really concerned whether my patch to xchat was automatically under the GPL, As I assumed, Or not.
If It's automatically under the GPL, Then sorry peter, You are violating the license and I'll have to take actions, If Not, Then I'll demand the removal and shut up!
I've just contacted the FSF and asked them about the situation.
Peter, I've always respected you as an OpenSource fighter, You really deserver more than those 20 bucks, But It's the GPL, Sorry!
