I will review it and give comments, but won't accept it.

Yes please. And the fix patch should come first, and have a fixes:
tag.

As a general rule of thumb, it is better to have lots of small, easy
to review patches, than an couple of big patch. So i would probably
have:

1) Fix
2) License change.
3) Split patch LS-WXL/WSXL
4) Split patch LS-WVL/VL

The license change needs a different sort of review to the other
patches, so having it as a separate patch helps with the review
process.
