Follow-up Comment #11, sr #105871 (project administration): Ah, you need to ask us for changing the license that is displayed in the project page.
Note that we accept the GNU GPL starting with v2, so it would be "GPL v2 or later". Is that fine by you? "If I understand you correctly, the modified BSD copyright let me distribute BSD-code under the GPL." Indeed. "Another question, when I change something in a file, do I simply add a line that says "(C) 2007 John Doe" or similar? I assume its apropiate to add a few lines on what I changed, and that my changes are under the "GPLv1 or later"?" If you change the license, you could: - add a README file (or similar) in your repository that contains the original BSD notice, stating that your code includes portion of code originaly released under the BSD license. - change the source file's license notice to the standard GNU GPL header - keep the existing copyright notices in the source file and add your own after them I did something similar in GNU FreeDink: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/freedink/doc/legal-notices_orig.txt?revision=1.1&root=freedink&view=markup http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/freedink/freedink.cpp?revision=1.2&root=freedink&view=markup _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?105871> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
