For the shake of consistency, I'll switch to GPLv2.

Well, with the changes I did this morning, you might be surprise if you
check the UI now ;-)

Well, actually the current version does not even go that far. Anyone can
send data to the db with any identifier (as long as it is not 'login').
The user id is quite meaningless at the moment and to have it meaning
full we need to make sure humans are requesting one, otherwise it is
pretty much the same as the current approach.

So to play with, you can set your login to 'Dirk' or 'Linus' or
'Aurelien' if you want, it will work just as good.

Which one would be which then?

I'll send you a ssh key.
