I'm the copyright holder - I can relicense it!  And I'm not opposed to
doing so.  I just always clearly state a copyright and a license due to
the fact that originally I didn't and subsequently was notified of a
college professor using my presentations in his class and claiming them
as his.... Oh the fun!

All I want for presentations is some attribution.
