Hi,
many different people (especially Dan Carpenter) worked quite hard to contact
all people with significant contributions. The two changes are the ones which
should change the license from the problematic OSL[1] to the more liberal MIT
license. The initial agreement was reached when Novafora (successor in
interest to Transmeta Corporation) accepted such a license [2]. The commit
provided by them is attached as "relicense.bundle" and has to be
unbundled+merged in the sparse repository before the following patches can be
applied.
The agreements of each person can be found in the relicense.tar.xz. The
changes can also be pulled from
git pull https://github.com/franzschrober/sparse.git master
Btw. when somebody has to ask me in the future about a license change of these
two patches: do whatever you want. They can be considered public domain.
