Hi to all!
Woohoo! I've uploaded the major release of Relacy Race Detector:
http://groups.google.com/group/relacy/files
The main news is that now Relacy Race Detector is dual licensed under
BSD and GPLv3 licenses w/o any additional clauses. This means that now
you can freely use Relacy for basically whatever you want. I will
still appreciate if you mention that you use Relacy somewhere, though.
There are also a lot of bug fixes and minor improvements, as well as
some new major things. I am going to describe them in further posts
soon. Stay tuned!

Hi Dmitry,
Actually, you don't need GPL is you license it under BSD.
BSD is "GPL-compliant" license, i.e. code with BSD license
can be used togather with GPL code without any obstacles.

Thank you anyway.

I've heard something about "GPL-compliance", but I am not a lawyer so

vaguely understand what it actually means. Initially I wanted to
license it under BSD only, but I suspect that GNU apologists will be
more comfortable with pure GPL anyway. So I better leave it as is.

I'm not a lawer too, but I did some research on license types when
choosed which one to use for my libs. And I'm definitely sure that
any BSD code may be used in GPL (and many other) code. It's
one of most permissive lecenses.
Here is a wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility
So, putting a code under "weaker" (BSD) and "stronger" (GPL)
license together looks... awkward... I.e. that's possible, but useless.
