Does this mean you're not willing to relicense your contributions with the license used by libgit2? That's what the document is supposed to mean and it's what I asked on the mailing list when requesting permission. The libgit2 license used as of today is still the license that people agreed to relicense their contributions under. It can be found here: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/development/.HEADER I'm mostly adding it here for the sake of clarity in case people find this in the future and wonder what all the fuzz was about. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
