Hi,
Hi,
what's the status of this patch/patchset?
the status is that Wolfgang wants me to change the license to GPLv2 because he thinks that the BSD license is not compatible with GPLv2 or later and I can't. I can't change the copyright because I don't hold copyright on those files like the header file. For instance I haven't found any documentation on the file format which is only described in the header file. The header file is only available under BSD license (not accepted by Wolfgang) and under Apache v2 (not compatible with GPLv2 but with GPLv3 according FSF).
So unless - Wolfgang changes his opinion on GPLv2 vs BSD license or - we get the code relicensed by Google or - we get some documentation under a reasonable license and (can) re-implement it from scratch
I don't see any movement here.
Thanks M
Sebastian
