Only contributor of vixie-cron? Are you confusing package maintenance with upstream authoring? By definition of its name vixie-cron has Paul Vixie as a author, and the sources say: | Many people have contributed to cron. Many more than I can | remember, [many names mentioned] So if you want to change the license you will have to get the consent of all these people, you can't relicense just because you package it. But maybe I misunderstood what you meant with "I started upstream of vixie-cron". If you are rewriting this from scratch w/o using code from vixie-cron then you can license it however you like. But you should probably not call it vixie-cron. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
