Hi Ludovic,

the news section has only a very brief statement. A longer statement
is on the wiki main page and the wiki page about authors and license.
As those two are pulled into each release tar.gz I that is good enough.
Do you agree?

I thought about the "or any later version" clause and came to this
conclusion: it is easy to narrow down the license by relicing it,
either with "version 3.0 or any later version" or by "version 2.1"
(no later version allowed), depending on what you want to do.

but changeing a copyright situation is a pain, as all authors need
to agree (or their code needs to be isolated and replaced by an
independend third party), either way lots of work.

I don't like what the fsf is doing with GPL 3, but we have only seen
an first draft, and some people have given very good feedback
about some problems. I give them the benefit of doubt, so
for now we keep an "or any later" clause, and we can still
remove it, if people don't like what the new LGPL will be.

btw: I'm not sure, but if I remember a discussion with werner koch
correctly, we even violate the LGPL by not maintainer proper log of
all changes. well, I don't care. I don't want log files in each code
file, when we have a public svn where everyone can lookup each
change.

Regards, Andreas
