I don't know where this desire of talking authors into changing their
license comes from: he who writes the code writes the license.

If you really need his software in an application where the GPL is
unacceptable, maybe you should offer him a certain amount of money to
change the license. Just by posting to this group is unlikely to
achieve that effect after he made it clear that choice of license was
on purpose, not by mistake.
