Interesting, but what about the situation where a new author adds his name as copyright holder without them consent of the original copyright holder,
If the software is released under GPL then no one needs anyone's consent. By
licensing the software under GPL you give everyone the right to modify and
redistribute the software so anyone can modify it, add their copyright notices
and release it.
Looking at the backlog of events that led Dominick to try legal stunts
around the GPL, I guess that the only free software licence that would
satisfy his needs concerning Rcpp is the QPL. This way he retains
control over the evolution of the source code.
By far not one of my favourite licences, but that's the licence he's
been looking for all along.
