[Nasm-devel] Question on licensing of the instruction reference

[C. M. <pu...@38...>]

Hello,

Can the instruction reference be used according to the new NASM (2-clause  
BSD) licence as well?

NASM's relicensing was completed around ecfba9d (on 2009-07-06), available  
here using the web interface:  
http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git/commit/ecfba9d6abdda57383f61031ab3406efba2769b3

The instruction reference was removed from the sources with 03b9f94 (on  
2009-05-09),  
http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git?a=commit;h=03b9f941336d901e32054efc8cda20a3cc3916d3

No changes were applied to the doc/insref.src file after its extraction  
 from doc/nasmdoc.src by 9b49e24,  
http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git/commitdiff/9b49e24e1fe1a4afc021f6c3a01720fcabdc47ca

So next the annotations of that part of doc/nasmdoc.src from 62cb606 (the  
parent of the extraction, 9b49e24) are relevant, (the last part of)  
http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git/blame/62cb606f6876b01c5d89ad00b6d3d4a3a2ffccf2:/doc/nasmdoc.src

This indicates that all the relevant changes are recorded as checked in by  
Peter, Keith, Debbie, and Frank. I don't know whether that means that only  
the four of you would be relevant for the licensing, though. Hence, it  
seems best to ask you here.

Regards,
Chris
