YES, I agree to relicense all my contributions to test-lib.sh to
GPLv2+ with the addition of the "or any later version" clause.

Using test-lib.sh under GPLv3?

[Michal Sojka]

Dear Junio,

I like the simple and powerful test suite used by Git and I would like
to use something like that in Notmuch project (http://notmuchmail.org/).
Notmuch is licenced under GPLv3 and we think that things will be simpler
if everything in the repository is licenced the same. You are mentioned
as a copyright holder in test-lib.sh and t0000-basic.sh so I'd like to
ask you: Would you mind using parts of these files under GPLv3?

You can see the patches for how I'd like to use these files at
http://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2010/thread.html#1431

Thanks,

I don't mind for the parts I wrote, which is the basic infrastructure
(output redirection, skipping certain tests, expecting failure, etc).
My blessing would be enough to relicense it if you are are going to take
the file from some old version like 04ece59 (GIT_SKIP_TESTS: allow users
to omit tests that are known to break, 2006-12-28) and base your work on
it, but otherwise it would not be nearly sufficient.

Other people worked on polishing it over time and they all hold copyright
on their parts.  Notable parts that are not mine and that are not git
specific are:

 - color output support is mostly by Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org>
 - valgrind support: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
 - conditional test: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
 - summarizing the results: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com>

Re: Using test-lib.sh under GPLv3?

[Michal Sojka]

Dear Pierre, Johannes (2x) and Sverre,

as you can read bellow, I'd like to use git's test-lib.sh in a GPLv3
project. Do you mind if I use your work in that file under GPLv3?

Thanks
Michal

I do not mind, but I would like to ask that you contribute the 
improvements back under GPLv2.

Thanks everyone for your agreement.

And yes, we'll contribute back any improvements under GPLv2.

I think the most clear step forward would be for test-lib.sh to be
updated in the git repository with an explicit licensing blurb
reflecting this agreement. The most convenient would be something using
the standard language of "either version 2 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version".

Then, any generic improvements we make within notmuch, (such as a --tap
option or whatever), I'll be sure to pass on to the git community.

Thanks again,

-Carl

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

[Carl Worth]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2194 bytes --]

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).

The request for relicensing was presented to the git community in:

	Message-ID: <871vgmki4f.fsf@steelpick.localdomain>

and explicitly agreed to by Junio C Hamano, Sverre Rabbelier, Johannes
Schindelin, Pierre Habouzit, and Johannes Sixt.

Thanks Johannes,

Hopefully this does the trick. Otherwise, please let me know.

Git: relicensing test-lib.sh from GPLv2 to GPLv2+

[Michal Sojka]

To all contributors to test-lib.sh mentioned in Bcc:

You're getting this message because you're recorded as contributing one
or more changes to the test-lib.sh file in the Git project, and are
therefore one of many copyright holders in the file.

We would like to extend the license of that file from GPLv2 only
license to GPLv2+ by adding the recommended "or any later version"
clause to the license. This will give us license compatibility with
GPLv3 projects, which would like to reuse test-lib.sh.

Please respond to this email with one of the following:

 YES, I agree to relicense all my contributions to test-lib.sh to GPLv2+
 with the addition of the "or any later version" clause.

 NO, I would rather not, please send me more email to convince me.

I'm putting your address to Bcc as most people are probably not
interested in receiving responses from dozens of other people. I will
track the status of received responses at
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Test-lib_reclicensing. Please do
not remove git@vger.kernel.org when responding so that your response is
available to everyone.

Thanks!
Michal Sojka

Hi Michal,

I am happy for anyone to use, modify, distribute, and relicense my
meagre contribution to t/test-lib.sh in any way they please.

In particular: yes, I agree to relicense all my contributions to
test-lib.sh to GPLv2+ with the addition of the "or any later version"
clause.

Thanks,
Jonathan

The month ago, I didn't contact *ALL* contributors, but only the ones
with significat contribution. Now I want to finish relicensing by
contacting all contributors as sugested in some responses.

Then perhaps you should exclude those who already replied earlier?
It seems to me the list on the wiki is quite similar in magnitude to
the recipient list of the last mail, surely there's no need to bother
everyone again just for few extra people?

That's exactly what I did. I excluded those who stated explicitely that
they agree. Shall I take your response as an agreement?

I'm not sure how you did it, but I already assented in the earlier
thread (and am listed on the wiki) and still got the mail. But anyway,
to be very clear:

   YES, I agree to relicense all my contributions to test-lib.sh to
   GPLv2+ with the addition of the "or any later version" clause.

Yes. I'm afraid that E-Mail never made it to the list or to Michael, because
neither were Cc'ed. Including myself, I got positive replies from the
following contributors.

 Johan Herland

It's probably best if you guys reply here again, for the record.

As I said earlier, I don't think my contribution is significant enough
(and large enough) to be copyrightable.  But again:

  YES, I agree to relicense all my contributions to test-lib.sh to GPLv2+
  with the addition of the "or any later version" clause.
