You don't identify the problem(s) which prevent you from entering into
that agreement: we might be able to clarify or help resolve them if you
did so.

What does Shane have to do with DirectoryStorage? That product was
originated by Toby Dickinson, based on a prototype by Petru Paler, with
contributions from several other folks, per:
http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/
and
http://dirstorage.cvs.sourceforge.net/dirstorage/DirectoryStorage/doc/HISTORY.txt?revision=1.2
Relicensing it will require consent from Toby and the other copyright
holders: I'm assuming that the arrangment you discuss above fits the
bill there.
