[PATCH] test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.

[PATCH] test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.

[Michal Sojka]

Dear Junio,

this is a resend of relicensing patch for test suite library, which
was initially sent by Carl Worth. Since the time you sent me acks for
this patch collected by you, I collected 8 additional acks as is
documented at
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Test-lib_reclicensing. There are
still three contributors missing: Bert Wesarg, Stephan Beyer and Bryan
Donlan. The contributions of first two are clearly not copyrightable.
I'm not sure about the copyrightability of Bryan Donlan's
contributions (git log -p --author='Bryan Donlan' t/test-lib.sh).

Carl told me that in your ack collection process you missed only three
acks. So I wonder whether you already did some analysis of which
contributions are copyrightable. If so, are the missing acks in the
list bellow?

Thanks
Michal

This file has had no explicit license information noted in it, but
has clearly been created and modified according to the terms of GPLv2
as with the rest of the git code base.

The purpose of relicensing is to allow other GPLv3+ projects (in
particular, the notmuch project: http://notmuchmail.org) to use this
same test-suite structure and to contribute changes back as well.

Relicensing test_set_editor

[Jonathan Nieder]

Hi Bryan,

I was wondering: would you be okay with relicensing your test_set_editor()
function from git’s test harness as GPL-2+?

The functionality is useful, so if that is not okay, I guess someone
who hasn’t read the code would have to reimplement it[1].  I thought I
should ask because clearly you have not disappeared from the face of
the planet. :)

Thanks for your work, and sorry for the bother,
Jonathan

[1] Context: the Notmuch mail project would like to use git’s test
harness.  The ack-collection for a patch to change the license to
help with uses like this is being tracked here:

It appears that I forgot to apply this; sorry.
