Somehow Luk managed to make me say "OK, I'll collect the release notes" for lenny. That's DebConf before the first coffee. At this moment I was not aware of the license issue: There is currently no license. The practical impact is probably small, but I really want to solve the issue now. The bug report is open for almost three years now. I talked also to Steve, who is one of the main authors of the release notes and aware of the issue.
I ask hereby - and in private mails following this one - all authors of the release notes to place their contribution to the release notes under the GNU General Public license (version 2 or higher) by an GPG-signed e-mail to [email protected] and/or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks for your collaboration. If I cannot get positive answers within, hm, let's say three weeks, from most main authors, I'll remove all text and start the release notes from scratch :~( Authors mentioned in the release notes: Josip Rodin (joy) Bob Hilliard (hilliard) Adam Di Carlo (aph) Anne Bezemer (is this [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or costar.at.panic.et.tudelft.nl?) Rob Bradford (robster) Frans Pop (fjp) Andreas Barth (aba) Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peñ(jfs) Steve Langasek (vorlon) The old CVS mentions further: barbier (Denis Barbier) djpig (Frank Lichtenheld) ender (David Martínez fbothamy (probably [EMAIL PROTECTED]) jseidel (Jens? Seidel) liling (Ling Li?) pmachard (Pierre Machard) spaillar (Simon Paillard?) tale (Tapio Lehtonen) xerakko (Miguel Gea Milvaques) * What about translations? We start from scratch, but translators can use their own translations and re-commit under the terms of GPL. * What about other contributors? So far, I could not find other contributor names in the logs (i.e. other than translations). If you find or know something, please "follow-up".
