Yep. I goofed.

I read it in 1995. Obviously too many years have passed since then.

Yep. I don't have any other choice here than to permit re-licencing the
code. My 04-Aug-2004 18:04:46 +0300 posting where I denied re-licencing
right was completely wrong. I'm sorry about that.

For loop-AES users I uploaded a patch here that updates licenses to be
GPL-compatible:  http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/updates/aes-GPL.diff
