Description

I hate to bring this up, but I noticed you're linking against Dulwich, which is licensed under GPLv2+. This would mean that pyvcs would need to be licensed under GPL as well.

Which is unfortunate, because I'd prefer a more liberal license myself. The Dulwich maintainer is [trying to get that project re-licensed under Apache 2](https://lists.launchpad.net/dulwich-users/msg00758.html), though it looks like he hasn't heard back from everyone necessary to do that yet.

Just thought I'd mention it, since license compliance is important.
