Re: [Ilisp] [Various] Is `ilisp' DFSG free?

Hi I am (one of) the maintainer(s) of ILISP. Thanks for your comments regarding the copyright status of ILISP. The story is pretty convoluted, since ILISP is a package that has been floating around for a very long time and for which there was not a very clear policy. A long time ago, I had an exchange with RMS regarding ILISP and at the time I concluded that it was practically impossible (for me alone at least) to track down all the "major" contributors of ILISP, having them sign papers and give ILISP to the GNU Project. So much for history. It has been a long time since the COPYING file has been revised. I think I understand the legalese that was posted to the mailing list and I am extremely keen on making ILISP DFSG compliant. For the time being any suggestion is welcome. Note however that 1 - the needs of the (Common) Lisp vendors must be taken into account 2 - it will be extremely difficult to track down all the past contributors of this package.
