The first question you need to ask yourself is not about
licensing, but is this something that would potentially be
acceptable within Phobos. In other words can you convince the
majority of voters that it's worth shipping this code to
everyone?
I am tempted to respond with why I think Punycode should be a
part of the standard library, but I will omit that, since I don't
want this thread to turn into a debate (or even us agreeing back
and forth if that is the case); I'll leave that to the formal
review process. The code is already written anyway, and it's
fairly small, so it's not a big deal if it gets rejected.
Usually a comment on GitHub is enough as proof - the D Language
foundation is still you so not all details have been worked out
entirely. If you want to be in the safe side, let him mail a
statement of his approval to the D Language foundation mailing
address. I haven't looked at Ponycode, but please be aware that
legally all contributors need to approve a license change. I
remember one project which it took about one year to do so. In
any case it's definitely not necessary that he submits a PR. If
you want to, you can set the Git history of your commits to
attribute him, but even this isn't necessary and seldomly done.
As for submitting the code, thanks for the advice. You have a
good plan. It sounds like this will be quite a bit easier than I
thought!
