Aaron,

You're of course the ultimate voice for licensing choices of your code but 
given that you've already submitted code as PR to the main OpenJPEG project, 
peple could reasonably assume it was intended to be under the same BSD 2-
clause license. 
Especially since https://github.com/CodecCentral/ronin mentions BSD-2 in the 
main README and LICENSE files.
I find it not very respectful for people included myself who have, apparently 
wrongly, tested or reviewed it under that assumption.
I don't think it will be mergable into mainline openjpeg if you keep it under 
Affero GPL, but that's perhaps intended.

Others: this relates to discussions on gdal-dev (& openjpeg list/tracker).  
Look for openjpeg in subjects at
