Re: [notmuch] Using test-lib.sh under GPLv3?
Dear Pierre, Johannes (2x) and Sverre, as you can read bellow, I'd like to use git's test-lib.sh in a GPLv3 project. Do you mind if I use your work in that file under GPLv3?

Notmuch is licenced under GPLv3 and we think that things will be simpler if everything in the repository is licenced the same. You are mentioned as a copyright holder in test-lib.sh and t-basic.sh so I'd like to ask you: Would you mind using parts of these files under GPLv3?

And yes, we'll contribute back any improvements under GPLv2. I think the most clear step forward would be for test-lib.sh to be updated in the git repository with an explicit licensing blurb reflecting this agreement. The most convenient would be something using the standard language of either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. Then, any generic improvements we make within notmuch, (such as a --tap option or whatever), I'll be sure to pass on to the git community.

From a quick look at TAP shell library it seems to me a bit more complex then git's library and it also requires bash. If we need to use some TAP-based tools, we could easily change the output of git's library to conform to TAP. Right? Or better yet improve git test suite, so when passed --tap parameter it would produce TAP output, instead of its own report format.
