In recent ELinks release announcements, I have described:
This release of ELinks is mostly licensed under version 2 of the GNU
General Public License. More permissive licences apply to some parts
of it, and there is also one test file under the GNU Free Documentation
License; please see COPYING for the list.
Remove that test file, so its GPL-incompatible licence need not be
mentioned in future announcements. The file however remains
downloadable as part of the elinks.git repository and releases like
elinks-0.11.6.tar.gz. Those should still be covered by the licence.
Add copyright and licence notices, and a NEWS entry.
The data in the new versions is not entirely the same as what ELinks
used to have:
- Unicode/8859_1.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_2.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_4.cp: Adds some control characters that ELinks assumed
there already.
- Unicode/8859_7.cp: Adds three characters.
- Unicode/8859_15.cp: Adds control characters.
- Unicode/8859_16.cp: Adds control characters and swaps 0xA5 with 0xAB.
- Unicode/koi8_r.cp: Changes 0x95 and adds some control characters
that ELinks assumed there already.
- Unicode/macroman.cp: Changes 0xC6 and removes some control characters
that ELinks assumes there anyway.
The proposed addition is that if the current ELinks maintainer likes
GPLv3, he might have the right to relicence all the default GPLv2-only
contributions to GPLv3. Please state your opinions etc.
