As Luis said I'm not against relicencing the library (and even the whole of brasero). It's just I wasn't aware of the issue at stake since I don't care much about licencing (which turns out to be a mistake). Regarding libbrasero-media, it shouldn't take long as I wrote all of the code but the two backends for : - FreeBSD but the copyright holder agreed to the licence change - OpenSolaris and I'm waiting for the answer. Given the size of the latter file, I can easily rewrite it if need be but I don't think it'll be necessary. A few questions: - is using the same licence and wording as rhythmbox OK? - should brasero remain GPL v2 (just temporarily of course I need to check who sent patches and there were not that many unfortunately/fortunately your choice) while libbrasero-media is GPL v2 + exceptions would it be a problem? If not, should I simply add the new licence to libbrasero-media for the time there is this discrepancy between brasero and the library? - One last thing, if I want to relicence brasero as a whole what about artwork (and translation, and documentation) that was submitted? Should I require the permission from the people who did this (great) work? Otherwise, I will of course at least warn the submitters. - still if I wanted to relicence brasero as a whole, do I need to ask for the permission of the people who submitted patches fixing problems (crash, things not working properly in general, ...) ? Thanks in advance. Regards, Philippe
