Re: [Crm114-general] Cleaning up copyright notices, as part of preparing to build a separate library

[Bill Y. <ws...@me...>]

   Hi, folks.

   I'm doing some work on making a separate library, a libcrm114 under
   LGPLv3, to allow the use of CRM114 functionality for other programs.
   (This includes some code refactoring, some cleanup, some
   autoconfiscation, etc.) But I'm also trying to make sure the
   copyrights are all clean and labeled as necessary. In particular, most
   of the .crm scripts lack copyright notices.

   Just to dot all the i's and cross all the t's, I'd like to put 'GPLv3
   or later' notices on all of them, and don't want to accidentally put a
   copyright pointing to Bill when someone else wrote it. The 'paolo_*'
   scripts are pretty obvious, but others are not so clear. Are the
   mailing list archives my only hope of tracking those back and
   contacting authors, or given CRM114's history, shall I reasonably
   assume that anyone who's submitted code will be happy with 'GPLv3 or
   later' on them?

Um, the ones I wrote and published are all public domain, now called
CC0 (that is, use as you will, no requirement to republish, just don't
sue me).
