If at any point a chunk of code was public domain, it seems to me that the authors as of that point in time gave up all rights to it, including the right to object to re-licensing. I would say we only need to contact those people who contributed after the license was changed to GPL. -- John Kasunich jmkasun...@fastmail.fm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
