Our current plans are to develop the dynamic loading only in the 7.0
release, which will be released (hopefully in April) under the AFPL
license, then under a GPL license about a year later.

I'm certainly not planning to do the work to retrofit the 6.5x series
to support dynamic loading, but if somebody else wants to, that will
be fine. The latest 6.5x release will be re-released under GPL at
the same time that 7.0 ships.

Hope this answers your questions,
