Re: GPLv3|L8R -- Status report - ready for inspection?

Malcolm> I've managed to find time to inspect some files. Thanks. All contribution are welcome. Mats> "etc/editclient.sh" Malcolm> An identical copy of this is found in the FAQ, attributed to Jan Malcolm> Vroonhof. OK. So it is clear from the FAQ that is it Jan Vroonhof who contributed this. From Jerrys "GPL version 3 source survey" we have the comment "(probably Steve Baur or Jan Vroonhof, email pending 2009/11/10 --sjt)" So we have had no success, a year has passed!?, in finding Jan Vroonhof to give his permission to make the file GPLv3 or later. (Stephen?) Due to the short size of the contribution, 11 lines, would it be OK to copyright this to Jan Vroonhof but leave it with no license? Mats> "etc/gtkrc" Malcolm> I wrote this. You have permission to make it GPL3. Thanks. Can I take that as GPLv3 or later? A question about short files (which etc/gtkrc is an example of. It is only eight lines.) Shall we make these files longer by inserting copyright notices and license text or shall we adopt the "shorter than 10 lines rules" and just keep them as they are? Or do we only apply that when both author and license can't be deduced?
