Relicensing is complicated when there are a lot of authors (copyright holders), because it is necessary to get the approval of everyone of them, with complications for unreachable people and dead people; in the past discussions on the GPLv2-GPLv3 relicensing for the kernel, there was an additional opinion that this requirement is not as stringent as it appears. In any case, relicensing a small project with a few authors (or just one) is as easy as editing a couple of files (source, webpage, ...). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
