[arch-releng] Licensing of the archiso repository under the terms of the GPL-3.0
Hello again,
as I'm obviously incapable of using e-mail at this time of day, I apologize again for the inconvenience of getting this mail so many times and hope that you'll answer *to this e-mail* instead of to the one to arch-general.
Sorry again. I guess it is time to take a nap...

The archiso repository [1] does not declare its license and to remedy this situation I would like to license the code base under the terms of the GPL-3.0-or-later [2]. For this I have opened a ticket [3] and an accompanying merge request [4]. However, I can not rightfully license the repository without full consent of previous contributors, which is what this mail is all about.

I have extracted the list of direct contributors to the repository (keep the dups ;-) ):

PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE ME FROM YOUR MALING LIST. THANKS.
Hi again,
I have now received quite a few replies in regards to the licensing of the archiso repository. Unfortunately some of them didn't make it to the mailing list because of my over-use of CC (or other reasons) ;-) However, I have received all that were sent to me and have attached them to this email.
I have eliminated the contributors, that either replied to me directly (and didn't make it to the mailing list) or replied (and made it) to the mailing list from the list of contributors.
If any of you know any of the following people and have other means of communicating with them directly, please do so and let them know about this topic, as licensing the repository is quite important to Arch Linux!

Mailman chopped off every attachment with a .com ending, so I've renamed all of those to have a .txt ending and attached them again (hopefully successful this time).

Hi all,
I have received a few more mails from contributors (in attachment). Again, if you know any of the remaining contributors personally or have other means of reaching them directly about this topic, please do!
