You should get as close to 100% of the contributors to agree as you can get. Flightgear needs to be prepared to remove any code written by someone who disagrees or who couldn't be contacted and appears later on. FWIW, wine did this earlier this year and they got all but a handful of contributors to sign off on the change. The missing had made only small contributions that they could easily recode if the need arose. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
