[SNMP4J] Querying by variable name vs. numeric OID

[Fabrice Bacchella]

Too bad the code is under a GPL licence, and not LGPL :
Any software linking to Mibble (using one of it's classes) must also  
be distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL (if at all distributed  
to third parties).

A good way to kill a library.
