Hi,

Thanks to everyone who responded so far. In less than a day we have
responses from (which already covers a large portion of the code
base),

Marcus D. Hanwell
Casper Steinmann
David Lonie
Geoffrey Hutchison
Jens Thomas
Matthew Kennedy

This leaves the following people (added to CC from emails found in git
log). If they are no longer subscribed to the list we could make the
list open for a few days as Eigen did (although it opened them up to
quite a bit of spam too). The list below is crudely de-duplicated by
me and roughly sorted by number of lines changed. I have not yet
analyzed exactly what those lines were, but would certainly appreciate
responses from all contributors.

Tim Vandermeersch
Konstantin Tokarev
Donald Ephraim Curtis
Eric Brown
Michael Banck
Jogvan Magnus Olsen
Albert DeFusco
Benoit Jacob
Carsten Niehaus
James Bunt
Naomi Fox
Raimondas Galvelis
Ross Braithwaite
Jordan Mantha
Shahzad Ali
Simon Ochsenreither
Gary Kedziora
Kristof Bal
Reinis Danne
Egon Willighagen

The full email is included below, with the most important part being a
response (to the Avogadro development list),

If you contributed code to Avogadro, please reply to this email with
either one of the following statements (adapted from the Eigen
relicensing effort led by Benoit),

  Yes, I agree to have all the code that I contributed to Avogadro
relicensed to the 3-clause BSD license.

or

  No, I do not agree.

Anything other than the above "Yes" sentence will mean "No". Without
your agreement we will make no attempt to port your contribution to
Avogadro 2's code base.

Thanks,

Marcus
