Re: [ANNOUNCE] Java Git (aka jgit) has switched to 3-clause BSD

Hi Shawn,

I looked through the licensing info and it is inconsistent. In the feature.xml copyright section you dropped the mention of the GPL while the full license itself was retained later in the section. The latter is correct as we have do have the GPL code that you wrote in the visualization part .

Either we reintroduce mentioning GPL at the start or (you) relicense the graph parts.

To what extent I still have code in there, I have no objections to changing it to either EPL (or LGPL for consistency reasons). I can do the editorial change the license if you confirm that there are no issues.

$ git ls-files -z |xargs -0 grep -l "GNU G"
