if that's possible, i think it would be the best option. we would just  
end up duplicating code.
as i said, if we need to make changes to the proxy mainline to make it  
happen (like giving it a
different directory to look for tests in) then i'm all for it.

yes, each file needs to carry a license header, also identifying the  
author(s).
not different to pretty much every other project really.
the checkbox on the launchpad page simply servers as an indication for  
launchpad users
to quickly see what license that project is under - it serves no legal  
purpose.
