Hello all, it would be a great help for anybody willing to volunteer a bit of
time to help us complete polling the list for permission to change the license
to LGPL2.1. Several months ago I wrote to all the people for whom I had
contact information asking for permission for such a change.
Christian has dug out a few more addresses but many contributors are just names
on the list. It would be really good for everybody on this list to review
those names and
* if you are on that list, please respond with your agreement to change the
license,
* if you know anybody whose address is not given, contact them for permission
or send the contact information to Christian or me.
All major contributors have agreed to the change. If there are any remaining
contributors who object to the change, we will remove their contributions from
liblouis so we can move ahead. We have discussed this issue thoroughly, and
there seems to be no good reason to object to the change, so I am optimistic
that we will not need to do any removals.
Thanks!
John Gardner

Well Bert made the list really and John contacted most of the people on
the list.

Well, the whole process is tracked in
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/issues/26. Currently we have
consent from 57 out of 109 contributors. Someone should try to make an
effort to contact the remaining people (again, this time only asking for
a move to LGPL2.1 though). I'd be happy to help.
Thanks
Christian
