There is a GPLv3 on the secure-smtplib implementation: https://github.com/graingert/secure-smtplib but I also found an older code equivalent to my patch under MIT license here: https://github.com/cybercase/django-smtp-starttls (code in django_smtp_starttls.py, licence in setup.py)

I think there is not problem to re-use MIT code.
Simon.
