Hi Toshio,
I give you permission to take any code I've committed to the yum,
yum-utils, createrepo and urlgrabber projects and use it for the kitchen
project using the LGPL license, version 2 or later.
All the best,
Menno

Subject: Asking permission to relicense yum code to LGPLv2+ for kitchen
library
Reply-To: yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Greetings all,
A few weeks ago skvidal, geppetto, and I were talking about how we have
a lot of code that exists in yum that we end up reusing in other projects.
These code snippets generally seem too small to put into its own library
(like to_unicode and to_bytes) but it seems wrong to have something like
func import the functions from yum. So what generally happens is that the
functions get copy and pasted around to lots of different projects that we
work on.
I volunteered to put these functions together into a kind of miscellaneous
library. Something that has a lot of little code snippets that are too
useful to reinvent everywhere but too small to exist on their own. So for
the past couple weeks I've been working on that project under the name
kitchen:
https://fedorahosted.org/kitchen/
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/k/i/kitchen/docs/
...
I'll track who has granted permission for what on this page:
https://fedorahosted.org/kitchen/wiki/RelicenseLGPL
with links to the email in the archives.
.. _[*] James Antill and Seth Vidal have already granted me permission to
relicense but if they'll be kind enough to post messages to this list, all
the emails will be in the archives which will simplify record keeping.
Thanks you for considering this,
-Toshio
