The license problem is tracked on bug #159134. As I wrote:
"We (the current maintainers) would like to change to the gtksourceview
license
to be LGPL. But the original authors used GPL. We should ask all the
contributors the permission for the license change. Is anyone volunteering to
get all the permissions?"

I reiterate the question: Is anyone volunteering to get all the permissions for switching the license of GtkSourceView from GPL to LGPL?

You can use the code I contributed under the LGPL too.

P.S. If you are a GtkSourceView contribute, please send us (and attach
to the bug report) your permission to the license.

P.P.S. If you already solved a similar problem, may you please explain
us the correct way to solve it? Do we need the permission of all the
single lines of the code? Or only from the ones who submitted
non-trivial patches?
