tex2lyx pulls in a few files in the src/ directory together with the
src/support library. I reckon that changing the license of tex2lyx to the
GPL will require the agreement of these people:
Alejandro Aguilar Sierra
Alfredo Braunstein
Andr� P�nitz
Angus Leeming
Asger Alstrup
Baruch Even
Claus Hentschel
Dirk Niggemann
Georg Baum
Herbert Vo�
Ivan Schreter
Jean-Marc Lasgouttes
John Levon
Jo�o Luis M. Assirati
J�rgen Vigna
Lars Gullik Bj�nnes
Martin Vermeer
Matthias Ettrich
Ruurd A. Reitsma
That's based on the '\author' field in the header of each file.
As a first step, shall I drop off an email to all those people listed in
the CREDITS file explaining that we'd like to use the GPL without this
great big hole in it?
Is this a good idea, or shall I just drop the whole thing?
Perhaps we should have a page analogous to
http://www.boost.org/more/blanket-permission.txt
where we keep a record of those people that are happy with a change in
licence. Something like:
The following people hereby grant permission to replace all existing
licenses on their contributions to LyX with the Gnu General Public License
version 2 or later.
