I have talked to Ullrich von Bassewitz who has maintained CC65 for a very long time and he chose the zlib license for all the code he wrote and he also said, that all of his code can be freely distributed using the zlib license without any restrictions regarding commercial use. I'm tickled that it's still in use. I'd like it to continue to be freely available and for the community to have fun with it and keep getting good use out of it. With your permission to use the zlib license for your contributions we could start the packaging process right away and CC65 could therefore soon become part of Debian, Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions, we just need your official OK :). Thanks a lot! Adrian -- .''`.

Hi all. I gather that the preference is to license CC65 and associated technologies under the zlib license. I hereby give my approval for any software written by me as part of CC65 and associated technologies under the zlib license. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I hereby give my approval for any software written by me as part of CC65 and associated technologies under the zlib license. I talked to Ullrich von Bassewitz in private mail in German and he asked me to paraphrase him here: He says, all of his contributions are licensed under the zlib license without any exception and are therefore freely distributable. With John's and Oliver's consent to use the zlib license for their contributions, I think we can consider the license question settled. As for who is going to maintain the package. If László and Spiro have already done some previous work on the work, I am more then happy to hand this ITP over to them. Just change the owner of this bug report to yourself and go ahead. Unless I am overseeing something, I think we're all set! Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.

Bug#714058: CC65 licensing
Hi everyone. I'm John Dunning. I was the guy who produced CC65 for the Atari 800 family of machines many years ago. I was contacted by Mr. Glaubitz about licensing status of the software. I hereby declare my approval for putting CC65 and its related tools and utilities under GPL-2. As an aside, I never had any intent of making money off it or it being proprietary. I built it because I was sick of not having tools which could compile to machine code, which would run on the platform. CC65 was the only compiler I ever saw for that machine which could compile itself. I had a lot of fun with it, before finally giving up the Ataris and moving on to bigger things. I'm tickled that it's still in use. I'd like it to continue to be freely available and for the community to have fun with it and keep getting good use out of it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
