FWIW, I only said "_at least_ you need consent from them", and it was not meant to be an exhaustive list. "blame -C -C -C" may tell you more. You are the party that wants this relicensing, not me. Please do not burden me with excessive legwork for you, but help me a bit more proactively to make this happen. > Meanwhile, a message ID lives forever and can be used in multiple > contexts. Oh, I never said "do not use message ID". I said "message ID alone is not good enough for most people". Users of gmane and notmuch who know the tool they use would benefit from having message ID, _too_, but even if you were a user of notmuch, unless you have subscribed to the list and have your own archive, you wouldn't be able to say "show id:frotz".

Please at least mention what mailing list the message was sent to; better yet, do so like this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.notmuch.general/1389/focus=140156 so that people can see the consent from the primary author (that is where the focus is), the original request (that can be seen by looking at its immediate parent), and messages with consent from other contributors, all in one place. > and explicitly agreed to by Junio C Hamano, Sverre Rabbelier, Johannes > Schindelin, Pierre Habouzit, and Johannes Sixt. > --- And a sign-off ;-). Thanks.
[notmuch] Using test-lib.sh under GPLv3?

I don't mind for the parts I wrote, which is the basic infrastructure (output redirection, skipping certain tests, expecting failure, etc). My blessing would be enough to relicense it if you are are going to take the file from some old version like 04ece59 (GIT_SKIP_TESTS: allow users to omit tests that are known to break, 2006-12-28) and base your work on it, but otherwise it would not be nearly sufficient. Other people worked on polishing it over time and they all hold copyright on their parts. Notable parts that are not mine and that are not git specific are: - color output support is mostly by Pierre Habouzit - valgrind support: Johannes Schindelin - conditional test: Johannes Sixt - summarizing the results: Sverre Rabbelier
