I would like to ask the AMS for an updated license for the CURRENT version, as they offered in their reply; the current version is 2.0, which is the one in the gNS repos, as far as I have seen. The package would then need to include this extra file. I hope that this is doable without problems. Is this all we need? Is there a special wording needed / to be avoided? Are there any more thoughts on that - before I bother the AMS again? Karl hasn't had much feedback to this question, so I try again. ben _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
