Hi Andreas,

I've been working quite a lot on git -> libgit2 code moving,
It would be nice if there was somewhere on the web where your work could be
seen. If there is already, could you send (or resend) the URL? This way
people might have look and perhaps even help you. (Though I don't promise
anything as I have already a lot of things on my TODO list.) Thanks in
advance.
When I was about to, I realized these licensing issues actually made it
illegal to do so without getting the permissions from the involved authors.
Now that Linus and a lot of other core contributors have given their consent,
I'll be able to start re-ordering the commits so I can publish those parts
originating from consenting authors while holding off on those that I can't
tell for sure are ok with it. Legal issues are no fun what so ever.
but the licensing stuff is a bit depressing, as I can't know
if the work I'm doing is for nothing or not.
The license decided for libgit2 is "GPL with gcc exception".
Those who are OK with relicensing their contributions under
that license for the purpose of libgit2, can you please say
so?
It's ok to relicense my git related work under the "GPL with gcc exception"
license.
Thank you. With the current list of ok's 73.09% of the code in git.git
seems to be relicenseable for the purpose of libgit2. That will provide
quite a kickstart.
