Bug#754441: GMastermind Relicensing
Hi Riccardo, Even if you're not the original author, if you've made any modifications to the work, you own copyright on them. For example, Linus Torvalds is not the only copyright holder of Linux; the other ~5000 contributors all have copyright on it as well. This is why the kernel can't be upgraded to GPL-3, even if Linus wants to. So, having a statement from you would be helpful. (You are only relicensing *your* contributions) Also, what do you mean by the COPYING is the full GPL v2 or later? Riley On 20/07/14 20:40, Riccardo Mottola wrote: Hi Riley, thanks for inquirying. I am not the original author of GMastermind, thus I cannot relicense it, if you need that explicit statement, you need to ask Marko Riedel. I see you put it in CC, I do not know if that email address is current though. We just got permissions to incorporate GMastermind in GAP. I think the original author licensed it under GPLv2+. The README file is misleading and probably written in haste. Not only the header files explicitely say or later, but also the COPYING is the full GPL v2 or later statement. The README file says to refer to gpl.txt, this is probably inaccurate and COPYING was intended. I would say that the original intentions are pretty clear. Just in the case, I corrected the README file and also updated COPYING to the current GPL v2+ file from fsf, it had even the old FSF address. Perhaps that statement should be removed totally and just COPYING should be included. Riccardo Riley Baird wrote: Hi, I'm currently packaging GMastermind for Debian. In the process, it has been discovered that, according to a technical reading of the README, GMastermind is licensed under GPL-2 only (i.e. without or, at your option, any later version).

Replace DM email address and move to secure gnupg key
Hello, I want to replace my DM email address. For my new email address I already have created a new secure gnupg key and this new key is already signed by one DD. But now what are the next steps? Must I add another DD sign in the same way as DD - or is one DD sign enough as DM ? And then? I have read (again) https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer and I have read https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer/Tutorial which seems to be for DD ? It would be fine if somebody can give me more information. --- Have a nice day. Joachim (Germany) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
