Re: GPLv3 or later -- Lispref files refers to text in lispref.text

Andreas> Really? I.e. they wrote: but _not_ any later version of GPL? Andreas> Does it make sense? They don't have to specify what licenses that doesn't apply, that list would be long. Only the license that does apply needs to be specified and if that says GPLv2 then that is so. Files with this type of copyright need to be relicensed by the copyright holder or if that isn't possible they need to be replaced. Andreas> What a kind of misuse of code might happen? Eating the paper, Andreas> if its printed somewhere. IMHO people may misuse computers Andreas> and probably do. GPL can't hinder that. Well the misuse is that the code is used in a way that the license doesn't allow. Andreas> Anyway, didn't want to make you upset. Just wanted to bring Andreas> some momentum to the issue. No problem. It is good to discuss it but I'm afraid that there are probably no shortcuts here. So to get some momentum IMHO the proper thing is to dive in, find weak spots and try to find out what need to be done about them. That has to be done for each file, one by one, and documented. Unfortunately we haven't found any good way to do this in a collaborate way yet.
