Re: ANN: Update to AdaGPGME and libgpg-error

Its important to cover these things because many people/companies have 
concerns about license infection. They want to know that if they are 
using your tools/utilities that this does not force upon them whatever 
license you personally wanted to use. Being explicit about where your 
software/rights ends and the other guy's begins is a good thing.
