i don't want to argue about that with you but i told everyone that i sent an email and never got a reply. I don't understand why Svend replied to Avuton instead of me, doesn't he like my email address? > Please understand that you must not change the license of somebody > else's work without his permission. Getting no response simply means > "no"! That's not a valid excuse. Since the copyright hasn't been updated for almost two years now, i felt more like this is abandoned code. What this implies legally is of my scope as i'm not a lawyer. It might well have been a mistake to just relicence it to BSD but i had to make a decision. What's more important: i never ever wanted to steal someones work nor label it as mine. That's why i imported the whole cuetools repo, made the work to transparently move every source file and keep all the copyright notices where appropriate. > "'Copyright (c) 2009, Jochen Keil' marks code which is released as > 2-clause BSD license" > You added your name to all source files, even those which you didn't That's why i added this: (and only with this notice alone, if there is an additional copyright notice about Svend Sorensen, GPL applies!) > touch at all (e.g. time.c). That's been a careless copy and paste error. I fixed it now, thanks for your remark. > Suggestion: add the full BSD license to all files which you created > (e.g. rem.c), and all others stay 100% GPL according to COPYING, even > if you modified them. That's a good idea and i applied it. One last thing i'd like to add. There have been a lot of modifications done by me. Some may be trivial but some are quite under the hood and fixed severe mistakes. If it weren't for the lexer (tokenizer) or the parser (grammar) i might have written this as well myself. Unfortunately there is not much room left for writing the tokenizer/grammar in a different way in lex/yacc. All in all i'm not happy with GPL. I don't want to make a fuss here though since i think that it's more important to share the work so that everyone can benefit from it. All the updated copyright notices are now on git at sf.net. If there are no objections anymore i'll repackage the latest release asap. Jochen
