MKEYB 0.40 released changes: now uses APACK for 200 byte smaller executable licensing changed to allow distribution of APACK'ed executables

There is exactly one copyright holder - and I don't need written agreement from him.
I assume you mean yourself? Or do you mean Anton Zinoviev, since he wrote several files from scratch? Or perhaps Henrique Peron, the original author? What about Pat Villani, who wrote prf.c and portab.h?
In order for this to comply with the GNU GPL, it is important that all copyright holders agree to extending the license to allow apack. Otherwise, this is not in compliance and will cause problems.
JH> We need to have written agreement from all copyright holders for this Don't know you you need - I don't.
What I'm trying to say is it is important to have something from all copyright holders that indicates they agree to extending the license. This can be a text file in the mkeyb zip file that contains the emails from the copyright holders / contributors, or maybe a page on your mkeyb site.
I'm not bored enough to start another 'exepackers are compilers or not' war - so i changed the license
Do you mean that you have changed the license back to plain GNU GPL? I don't think this is what you mean, since your web page (http://www.drivesnapshot.de/freedos/mkeyb.htm) still says "changed the licensing to allow distribution of APACK'ed executables" and your license.txt in the mkeyb zip file is:
FREE! OPEN! SOURCE! license
This program and it's sources is distributed under the terms
of the GNU GPL with one major exception:
you may use any exepacker you want to process the resulting
executable.
