BBDB v3 still has issues, as it has a complex API which is under
previous copyright AFAIK.

"Essentially" as understood by programmers is rarely anything close to
what a lawyer thinks of as an independent work not considered a
derivative. I doubt *any* of the newly assigned work was done without
looking at the original, and very likely most still uses original
internal variable names, structures, algorithms, etc. You'd better
check with the lawyers.
