Changed back to GPL2. I will send out a separate email to get
permission for relicensing the bindings.

It would indeed. :-)

I've moved the one-line descriptions to comments before each enum
entry. However, I ended up adding more detailed descriptions in the
description sections because I felt these are not well-defined in
