Didn't I make that list a few months ago? Also, is it really
necessary to change the GPLv2-or-later notices in individual files;
i.e., wouldn't those be okay within a GPLv3-or-later distribution?
Indeed, you did something of the sort. But my opinion as to what is
needed has been informed by how Emacs did their v3 update, and I don't
remember exactly what you did. Sorry for not giving credit where
credit is due!
Yes, we must change all files for technical reasons, although strictly
speaking we may not need to change the license on some files. The
problem is that the notice says "XEmacs is licensed", not "this file
is licensed". I can't imagine Richard would let us get away with the
dual licensing that would be implied. We'd also have to change the
name of one of the files (we'd have to supply both versions of the
GPL). Yuck....
