Hi Michael,
OK, I'll try to give that permission - but:
a) I'll do so explicitly for code contributions that are mentioned in
the Evolution and evolution-data-server ChangeLogs and
b) I'll explicitly give permission to re-license to lgplv3 or gplv3,
not lgplv2 which I find to permissive.
I (Jules Colding) hereby grant permission to re-license to the Lesser
General Public License version 3 (but specifically NOT LGPLv2) or the
General Public License version 3 anything which is currently (as of
yesterday) in the official Evolution source tree, provided:
1) that I personally own the copyrights of said code
2) are legally able to give the permission
3) and that the code in question is covered by one of or more of the
following ChangeLog entries for evolution-data-server or Evolution:
ChangeLog entries for evolution-data-server:

2007-05-16 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* camel-lock.c (camel_lock_dot): Use g_mkstemp()
* camel-folder-summary.c (camel_folder_summary_save): Fix file
descriptor leak. fclose() a fdopen() stream instead of
close()'ing the underlying file descriptor.
* camel-uid-cache.c (camel_uid_cache_save): Cleanups, such as
setting cache->fd = -1 when fd has been closed.
* camel-block-file.c (key_file_use): Do not close() if (fd == -1)
* camel-index-control.c (do_perf): Fix file descriptor leak
* camel-charset-map.c (main): Check for return value
* camel-text-index.c (dump_raw): Fix file descriptor leak
* camel-lock.c (main): Fix file descriptor leak.
* camel-lock-client.c (camel_lock_helper_init): Fix file
descriptor leak
* camel-process.c (camel_process_fork): Fix file descriptor leak
2007-05-12 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* camel-store.h (CamelFolderInfo): Change type of unread and total
members to gint32 instead of guint32. The previous unsigned members
are initialized to a negative value (-1) by many CamelFolderInfo
producers. To do that is ugly. Changing the type to a signed data
type will make a negative initialization value acceptable. We
won't be able to index folders with more than ~2 billion messages,
but who has that many anyway?
2007-05-16 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* camel-spool-summary.c (spool_summary_sync_full): Use g_mkstemp()
2007-05-14 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* camel-mh-summary.c (mh_summary_next_uid_string): Do not close()
if (fd == -1).
* camel-spool-summary.c (spool_summary_sync_full): alloca()
changed into malloc(). alloca() has undefined behaviour for stack
overflow so it shouldn't really be used unless there is a *very*
good reason. Cleanups related to this fix as well. Do not close()
if (fd == -1).
2007-05-14 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* camel-nntp-newsrc.c (camel_nntp_newsrc_read_for_server): Fix file
descriptor leak
2007-05-11 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

leak
2007-05-14 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* message/test2.c (convert): Check return value
2007-05-16 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* configure.in: Removed unused function check
2007-05-14 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* libedataserver/e-db3-utils.c (cp_file): Cleanup. Fix file
descriptor leak.
* libedataserver/md5-utils.c (md5_get_digest_from_file): Fix file
descriptor leak
ChangeLog entries for Evolution:
================================
2005-08-03 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* gui/component/addressbook-view.c: Added forward references to
functions that were
used before being defined.
2006-11-02 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* evolution-shell.pc.in (execversion): Added variable so that
the Evolution version is easily deduced programmatically.
2007-05-28 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* em-utils.c (em_utils_selection_set_urilist): Fix file leak
(em_utils_selection_get_urilist): Fix file leak

leaks fixed
2007-05-11 Jules Colding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi there,
As you can see from the attached; we're trying to re-license
evolution
to future proof it, and allow us to drop the copyright assignment
[ which as you can see is somewhat incomplete anyway ].
Is there any chance you can reply to the mail approving the change ?
even for the handful of lines still extant with your name on them it's
nice to have closure :-)
Thanks,
Michael.

Subject: Evolution: Taking forward...
Hello guys,
We have had a set of problems that we are carrying around for some
time like :
* Copyright assignments, which is not the best way looking for
the future of Evolution. It sucks and sort of limits contributions
to Evolution and we wanted to drop it.
* The current licensing incompatibility issues of Evolution
with Samba4/libmapi (GPLv3). Evolution needs to link with libmapi/
samba4 for the new mapi based connector being developed for Exchange
2007.
So here is the plan :
* Drop Evolution copyright assignments and make it really easy
to contribute to Evolution
* Move Evolution licensing to "LGPL v2 and LGPL v3" to let us
re-use the code more easily around the platform. This also moves us
closer to Thunderbird's MPL/LGPL model.
We think this is good for Evolution and (of course) we continue to
invest in Evolution. We are also working to ensure we have the
rights to re-license all of the code. We will do the licensing/
header changes as we audit the code ownership situation.
It would be really helpful if you can post a public/explicit mail
with permissions to do it, or code pointers - if you think you wrote
a piece of Evolution code & object.
We are really excited about this and we feel this would really help
Evolution a lot. We need your support now for making this change and
to take Evolution to great heights.
Thanks for your contributions and support.
-Srini.
