I agree with you Miguel. This needs to be thought through better. The GPLv2 is probably not the proper license, although making a licensing change without consulting the owner(s) is also not possible. Arbitrarily stating that the libraries are now public domain would essentially be stealing from the owner(s). So we need to proceed with caution, but we do need to look at this, especially with SWEET down the road.
