Subject: Re: [9fans] Transfer of Plan 9 to the Plan 9 Foundation
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2021 10:44:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL4LZyhtLhpVC993awL8=AvvVg-xHv6H-btT7hc2NrX=h-mQKg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202103311736.12VHahhW017916@freefriends.org>

Richard Miller being in this very thread, you could presumably get him
to say "I declare that the old bcm kernel found in the p9f code is OK
to be redistributed under the MIT license" and be done with it. Or
declare the opposite, and the p9f can remove the kernel from the
source.

As for what to do about a hypothetical patch rewriting a kernel
function that someone mailed to Bell Labs in 2003, well, I don't know.
