-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi folks,
I just got an update back from Brett Smith. I've been pinging him every couple of weeks to see where we're at. The SFLC (http://www.softwarefreedom.org/) have been primarily discussing licensing issues for GCC, which probably has several issues related to upgrading to GPLv3, probably including licensing exceptions similar to ours. On learning that we are now at the point where we are not waiting for anything else at all except the licensing resolution, Brett has asked the legal team to prioritize on our situation, which they've agreed to do; and he has submitted proposed text for our licensing invocation for critiquing. This should hopefully streamline things; however, he indicated that he still doesn't know how long it might take. I'm going to continue to hold the release in the hopes that these things may be resolved and we can release Wget 1.11 in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'll ask RMS if it would be appropriate to release under the licensing provisions we had used previously (GPLv2+ and exemption) if a resolution is not reached soon, and issue a new minor release bump when the current issues are resolved. If he is agreeable to that, then I would like to target November 15 as the latest we will wait for license resolution. - -- Micah J.
