Hello friends!
Here at Devcon we've decided that we should consider our code to be GPL
v2 or later (thus trying to put an end to a pretty long and tiring
discussion that's been going on in the Rockbox camp).
We need to go over the existing code and hunt down all code that might
not be v2-or-later and rip that out or convert it to code that licensed
v2-or-later. I'm quite sure that we at least have parts that origins
from Linux, and that is specificly v2 only.
If you are a contributor to Rockbox and you disagree with this
decision/interpretation it is important that you speak up (as soon as
possible) so that we can discuss the matter and figure out how to deal
with your existing contributions.
As a wannabe-contributor, I am not happy with v3 of the GPL, but I would
make an exception for Rockbox, because Rockbox needs to be patent
neutral/patent immune, and v3 offers that protection.
