retitle 388141 Old content is not DFSG-free until all contributors agree for relicensing thanks
Hi, Thanks to Stefano's help (see #238245), the new content of the website will now be DFSG free. In order to make the old content DFSG free, we need the agreement of every author of previous contributions. I propose to send them the following message, and will gladly accept your remarks before actually sending it: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Subject: Permission to relicense your Debian web site contributions Hi, As you may already be aware of (see #238245 for more information), the new material of the Debian web site is now compliant with our free software guidelines. In order to make the old content available with the same licenses, we need your agreement. Please send us back the following agreement, and, if you committed anything on behalf of someone else in the past (e.g. if you acted as a translation coordinator), please do ask them to also send it back to us: ----------------------8<----------------------8<---------------------- I hereby give permission to relicense all the material that I have provided to the Debian website under the terms of the MIT (Expat) License and of the GNU General Public License, version 2 and any later version. ---------------------->8---------------------->8---------------------- Thanks for the work you already did for the Debian web site, and thanks in advance for helping us to make it free. Regards <someone> on behalf of the Debian web team P.-S.: Please mention your real name and your Alioth (and pre-Alioth) account name(s) to help us track your commits. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— As a first step of this relicensing task, I propose we contact: - current contributors (the 213 members of the Alioth webwml group); - members of security team who provided DSA (in security/<year>/); - members of publicity and release teams who provided News/ content. In the mean time, I hope translation coordinators could take care of contacting the previous translators of their language (who are not already among the current members of the Alioth webwml group). We'll also have to contact previous contributors who are not currently member of the Alioth webwml group (so we first need to identify them), and probably many more people in some corner cases I didn't yet think of right now. We could continue to discuss the specifics of the relicensing work flow only in the debian-www mailing list not to flood this bug report, and come back to this bug report when we have significant information to share. Regards David P.-S.: The relicensing agreement should be sent to <webmas...@debian.org>, in order not to spam our public mailing list or bug tracker, and to make it available to any Debian developer.
