I don't think there is any confusion pertaining to the 8.0 release. These files were brought into the Org-mode repository, marked as GPL from the start, so there are no formal issues including them in 8.0 in their current form. Wether ox-odt.el should be moved to contrib as per Achims suggestion I don't know. I would object moving ox-html.el, it contains a lot of variable definitions, documentation strings and code I and others wrote, even if you have made the interface with org-elemets. We will see in how far the FSF will follow your arguments and what will happen when we merge 8.0 into the Emacs distribution. So I don't see a reason to hold up the 8.0 release. With respect to Emacs, we will have time to resolve the issue one way or another. - Carsten
