Hi,
I just want to state publicly that we are happy with the license
change in OpenNCIP, and that it is fine with us that our patches go in
with the new license.
Just in case that needs to be said, since we have made a patch
available for inclusion in OpenNCIP/SIPServer.

Evergreen and other Open Source Community Members,
The Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) is the primary copyright
holder on OpenNCIP. The source code can be found at the following
sites:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openncip/
https://github.com/atz/SIPServer
As the director of the PINES program, I want to notify you that
GPLS is permitting the change of the license of OpenNCIP from the
GNU Public License version 2 to the GNU Public License version 2 or
later in order to give it the same license that Evergreen uses.
This will facilitate easier code sharing between OpenNCIP and
Evergreen and thus benefit the Evergreen community.
Feel free to distribute this notice as needed.
Thank you for this. I confirm on behalf of Equinox that we are also
willing to relicense any OpenNCIP code that we hold copyright on to
the GPL version 2 or later.
Based on the change logs, the following individuals may have
individual copyright on portions of OpenNCIP. I now call on each of
them to either approve the license change, object, or disclaim
copyright interest.
Joe Atzberger
David Fiander
Dan Scott
If anybody is aware of other individuals with a copyright interest
in the OpenNCIP code, please pass this request on to them.
Regards,
Galen
