--- Begin Message ---Mr. Markham, First of all, my apologies for sending this unsolicited mail. I'm a developer for the Debian Project[1], and in the course of a recent discussion, some of us became curious as to what the progress of the triple-licensing effort was. I did attempt to research the answer for myself. I checked the minutes of the weekly Mozilla staff meetings, and found that on 24 November 2003[2], it was believed that all necessary permissions had been obtained. Later, in January, I understand that you said in an email discussion that the relicensing was well underway, and that the only files you couldn't get permission to relicense were not important[3]. I've looked for more information, and I did check the Mozilla Relicensing FAQ[4], but it claims to have not been updated since 7 December, and I cannot determine the current status of the relicensing. I also checked the "copyright" file of Debian's mozilla-browser package, but it is either outdated, or perhaps that something has held up the relicensing effort: Some files in this source package are under the Netscape Public License Others, under the Mozilla Public license, and just to confuse you even· more, some are dual licensed MPL/GPL. Given the content of the Relicensing FAQ, I suspect this information is out of date, so I am CCing the Debian Mozilla package maintainers. If you could advise me where to look for the answers I seek, I sure would appreciate it. I'm sorry to take up your time with this.
