Sorry, you're right. So the formal request: I intent to change the license from GPLv2 to GPLv3. Details are available at www.fsf.org The reason is that I intent to include a major GPLv3 licensed code base. Enoch: you are the only code contributor to the assembly sources and the python based amforth-shell (17 commits, will double-check) who did not yet tell me under which terms you provided your code and patches. Your emails make me think that you disagree with the license change, so unless you explicitly say "Yes, I agree" I'll remove all of your code and replace it, if necessary before I proceed with my plans. If I forgot someone, please let me know. To my best knowledge, I did not include code from others without a "do what you want" like permission. These forgotten contributors have of course the same right to either agree or demand the code removal. Again: I'm not aware of such code. Code in the community repository is not affected by this change, btw. I talk about the code repository. > Simply put: AmForth from trunk@1687 onward will never be used in any > commercial product, nor would it ever be the choice of any law abiding > professional developer (aka consultant).
