Hey, just an update on this FWIW. The customer (and the copyright
holder) does not want to license our work as BSD and wants to keep the
GPL. Our customer contact was simply expressing his personal preference
for BSD, and I simply mistook it at the time for a real potential.
Cheers.

P.S. You guys should take a look at the luma transition in Kino's timfx
plugin for a generic, extensible wipe processor. It applies a time
varying threshold filter over the luma channel of an image (grayscale
bitmap) to determine which parts of clip A vs B to use. You can get
download additional luma maps from http://mlt.sf.net/ Warning: my bar,
bardoor, and box wipe collections are 16bit PGMs, which can not be read
by many apps (try 'display' from ImageMagick). I do not recommend the
partial.tar.bz2 as it was created in Photoshop with dithering enabled,
which produces dirty edges.
