[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... Best, David On 2020-05-30 00:22:18 (+0200), David Runge wrote:
Hello to all,
I'm writing to you on a rather urgent note and I apologize if I may have send this mail twice to some of you.
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.
Please respond to this e-mail with a positive affirmation. If you are not on this mailing list anymore and you have been put in CC I will post your response to this mail to the mailing list for transparency.
I have extracted the list of direct contributors to the repository (keep the dups ;-) ):
$ git log --format='%an <%ae>' | sort -u | sed 's,^,\t,'

P.S.: I hereby confirm that I would like my work on archiso to be licensed under the terms of the GPL-3.0 or any later version of the license.
