Hi all,
As Marcel says, I wrote the original dvitty in Pascal (initially on
TOPS-20, and then later ported to 4.3BSD Unix, and Pyramid OSx).
I have no issues if the dvi2tty is GPL:ed at this time.
Regards,
Svante

That's the part 'as far as I'm concerned'.
But, dvi2tty is in fact my creation.
It is derived from the dvitty program written in Pascal by Svante.
E.g. I am the author of the C version.
So I think I'm entitled to release the code as GPL without further
permission from Svante, but I'm not sure...
I'm not really sure about this, but one thing I've seen expressed on
debian-legal has been that the original author retains copyright over
translations of books, so the same presumably applies to software.
Were there any other significant contributors to the code?
