I fear there are some questions to sort out before digging into this ;-) - Do we really have to relicense all packages at the same time? (Which means we can't do a release until they are all fixed in CVS? Nothing more, nothing less.) Since the XEmacs packages are distributed together in some sense the GPLv3 really means it is an all or nothing thing? That each package in some other sense is a package on its own doesn't matter? - There is no problem with us relicensing GPLv2 stuff code to GPLv3 because that right is granted by GPLv2. Right? - Some packages are already GPLv3 upstream. Would syncing as part of this task be worth while? (I guess it would best to decided this on a per package basis since some syncs might be very time consuming!?)
