Gnus and GPLv3

Gnus and GPLv3

[Reiner Steib]

Hi Miles,

you didn't sync the GPLv3 change from v5-10 to the trunk yet.  Would
you like to do it or should some other developer go ahead?

If the latter...

It should be quite simple:

$ grep -A1 'Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or' *.el

... shows that all these are GPLv2+ (GPL version 2 or later):

;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option)
;; any later version.

$ sed -i -e 's|Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or|Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or|' *.el

Then add the following ChangeLog entry and commit the files:

        * Relicense all FSF files to GPLv3 or later.

The following files in should also be relicensed (they are not in
Emacs 22; same for files added in No Gnus):

lisp/:

dgnushack.el
gnus-xmas.el
messagexmas.el
nnheaderxm.el

texi/:

infohack.el
gnus-news.el

texi/texi2latex.el doesn't have a proper header, I'll ask Lars about it.

We should also check, if the FSF postal address has been updated in
all files.

Bye, Reiner.

I can do it but it'll have to wait 'til monday (I don't have ssh access
from home right now, I'm still reading email at mangaland :-)

As Miles' doesn't seem to have a proper internet connection yet, I went
ahead.

I took a different approach: Get the list of CVS files from **/CVS/Entries and
change the files using the following command (bash, on a GNU system):

find . -name Entries|while read ent; do dir=$(dirname $(dirname $ent)); \
  sed -ne "s,^/\([^/]*\)/.*$,$dir/\1,p" < $ent; done | \
  xargs sed -i -e 's|Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or|Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or|'

Attached are the diffs.  I also added copyright notices in the ChangeLog
files (and removed trailing whitespace).  Let me know if something is
wrong or missing.

Not done yet.
