In relicensing documentation, how do we document relicensing from authors other than ourselves? For example, I am the sole author of the mirror-tutorial, so that's a fait accompli. But I'm a contributing author of the jargon-buster, and at least one of the other folks there is no longer active in the FDP. As far as I know, it's not possible to sign away a copyright, so I'd make the following suggestion: An/the active author or editor should contact all contributing authors, notify each of the proposed licensing change, including links to pertinent documentation on the Wiki. Ask each to reply ASAP to fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx with a PGP/GPG-signed message approving the change. If the list does not receive any word back from the authors, we may have to proceed as on the Wiki -- in other words, removing that author's contributions as shown in change history (CVS for us). Any other suggestions or strategies? -- Paul W.
