And which court exactly do you have in mind? "Oh, it's OK, Lars Gullik says that this is what he meant by the licence, and everybody who contributed code in the interim should understand this too." Urgggg! Seems to me that we've been making noise for years without actually doing anything. Let's do something active for a change. There are exactly 100 people in the CREDITS file, so it shouldn't be too hard to track down most of 'em. More realistically, we'd need the say-so of only 19 people (of whom 6 have given their go-ahead already) to release tex2lyx under a cast iron and copper-bottomed GPL licence, so let's just do it. -- Angus
