I don't think, that your way for relicensing is bullet proof: I consider many of my GIT patches as derived work from other parts of GIT, even if git blame is stating me as author. I can gurantee you, that I comply with the "Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1" point b, as its based on code out of git.git. But I can't tell you, from which files I reused code anymore. Probably other people did the same. Your method is ignoring such derived code. mfg Martin K=F6gler
