[Announce] libzdb 2.1

[Paul J Stevens]

Jan-Hendrik

Given the change in the license from gplv2-with-exceptions to gplv3 I've
decided to start using libzdb in my dbmail project.

However, I've also filed an ITP bug for debian which means I intent to
package libzdb for inclusion in debian and have it uploaded to
debian.org's ftp servers.

>From reading the EXCEPTIONS file I assume that would be acceptable for
you, but I'd appreciate your input and confirmation.

thanks,
