Follow-up Comment #11, bug#60930 (group groff):
[comment #10 comment #10:]
> The potential downside depends on whether Peter wants to continue to
maintain his script separately, which would make the groff git version a fork
that will then not automatically pick up any changes Peter makes to his copy.
But he may be willing to make the git code the authoritative version, and
simply mirror that on his site (until, presumably, it's part of an official
groff release).
I'd be happy to have someone else maintain the script, so yes, pillage and
plunder, add it to groff and make that version authoritative.
> I also don't know what license covers the script (neither the page that
hosts the script (linked in comment #0), nor the source code itself, mentions
one), but my presumption is that it would be licensed the same as -mom
herself, which is GPLed.
There's no copyright affixed to the script, but I can add one and slap on a
GPL notice if that would help. Let me know. There'll probably have to be a
copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation as well. I don't keep up
with the legalities, I'm afraid.
FWIW, a manpage is already written as a heredoc in the script. All it needs
is to be marked up.
