Subject: Relicensing Emacs to GPLv3
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 18:48:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1I3Jq2-0002bQ-Rw@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
We will want to move Emacs to GPL version 3 soon after that comes out.
First we need to check the licenses of the various libraries (other
than libc) that Emacs links with, and make sure that they are
compatible with GPL version 3.
If some libraries are incompatible, that won't prevent the upgrade,
but we need to know about them in order to do the upgrade properly.
Would someone please volunteer to check this?
