GPL code in GEGL (gegl-cache.c)

Mike Henning noticed that this file is actually licensed GPL. It looks like the only contributors are mitch and pippin, but I don't know what they might have used code from. Is the copyright on this clean? Can we change the license to LGPL?

Thanks,
- Daniel

gegl-cache.c is copyright clean, the GPL lingers by accident from a time when it was part of the experimental GTK UI that the GEGL binary used to ship with.

For posterity:

mitch_: that and paramspecs has your name on it from a GPL source, so if you reply to the email (so I an ref it in the commit) core will be fine :)
so I can*
Daniel_S: i am fine with whatever relicensing of my code between any components of gimp, gegl and babl and if somebody isn't we shall purge their code and nail them to the cross of bikeshedding
mitch_: I know, I just like legal things in public email not IRC logs :P
then you are doomed
lol
i tell you here
:)
