No, I didn't say that.

I said that you can't change the license on work you don't own anyway.
Merely including it verbatim doesn't even raise that question.

And I didn't read Diane's license as forbidding *modifications* to be
licensed under the GPL.  It just said "this code" which I read to be the
original verbatim contribution.
