so, i don't plan to revert the copyright updates in our tree, but in case something is changed in the cvs (somehow we're listed as copyright holders) then of course i'll pull that change and drop our copyright fixes. and again, this whole "copyright thingy" from my part is about to be able to control under what license is my code distributed, not about hurting you in any way
This is illegal. This is not about licenses.
sure, this is not about licenses. but then why do you quote the gpl?
You have not done this, and have now, on a public mailing list, refused to comply with the GPL. Is this an action you sure you want to take?
of course not. i would like to see the copyrights fixed in the cvs, as i stated several times previously. at the moment when you contribute to pacman you don't have to say "the copyright holder of my code will be Judd" and i never said so. possible solutions: 1) let every contributor sign such a document 2) respect other's copyrights and _mention_ them oh, and our pacman tree was always public from the begining (pacman2's cvs tree is still not public), so the copyright update was never a secret (also the darcs logs are on a public mailing list) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
