Perhaps I should fix that :> Has this been resolved with our private mails? For everybody to see: mvo: I don't think we need to change anything about the file COPYING. It is not the license statement of Guile, it is only used as a 'subroutine' in the actual license statements. These actual license statements are contained in each individual file. Here is how the subroutine is invoked: * You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License * along with this software; see the file COPYING. If not, write to * the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, * Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA * * As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives permission * for additional uses of the text contained in its release of GUILE. So technically, we don't need to change COPYING to be watertight. We might consider it anyway to better publicize our license terms. There are prominent sections in the README and the manual that explain the license terms of Guile. Maybe that is not enough? I'm hesitant to change COPYING as it is a 'standard' file with identical contents in a lot of packages. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
