That is the reason why I say: IANAL (I am not a lawyer), just did not thought about the requirement in this situation to still deliver the license of the used software, sorry! > He asked about a contact for the license.

I do not need it for myself to get added as contributor but at the end if you would e.g. decide to switch tomorrow to a closed license it still would be problematic for you if I would disagree (as long as you would continue to use my patches) at the courts. But as I said this is too detailed and in general not my goal :) -- /* Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi GNU/Linux Debian Developer Blog: http://www.linux-dev.org/ E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected] */
