No visible objections - pushed to devel. :)
I've also added the "GPLv2 or later" heading to the files that are authored by me and have not yet had that heading (most of them already had it from the beginning). I'd like to start releasing my dosemu-related code under GPLv3, and the fact that I can't, makes me a bit upset. So at least I'd like to do whatever is possible to get any closer to that goal. As far as I understand from the FSF docs, it seems the "GPLv2 only" project can be released under "GPLv2 or later" without any problems, BUT, the GPLv3 contributions will still be impossible till some "GPLv2 only" code remains. In the separate "copying" branch I replaced all the references to COPYING.DOSEMU with the explicit "GPLv2 only" heading, and then replaced the "GPLv2 only" with "GPLv2 or later" text in COPYING.DOSEMU itself, so that at least the newly contributed code can be "GPLv2 or later". http://sourceforge.net/p/dosemu/code/ci/a0e7a18e6047928dfe9e29db4bde3907650ba9c2/ http://sourceforge.net/p/dosemu/code/ci/5f4a99962ce39f25fb2e10853f67c1b856fcd4e4/ Any objections to this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
