These are the emails I got approving the change to a zlib license. I have
|

removed the authors' email addresses for spam safety. --ryan.

Sounds fine to me. And it makes it easier for me to use it in d2x. (which has a
|
||
very confusing license)

As mentioned before, I'm all for the license change since it would

benefit me personally.

Hi Ryan,
|
||
Sorry for the delayed response. (email troubles at
|
||
Stanford among other things)
|
||
|
||
I approve of a switch to the zlib license for
|
||
code I own in PhysicsFS, so you can sign off
|
||
everything I have there.
|
||
|
||
Thanks,
|
||
Eric

No problem. Please change the licensing model as you like.

You know, I don't think I ever contributed code to physfs, but if you
|

manage to find out something I may have, then you have my approval to
|
||
switch it to the zlib license...

Hi Ryan!
|
||
|
||
For your mailfilters:
|
||
|
||
"I approve of a switch to the zlib license for code I own in PhysicsFS."
|
||
|
||
The change of license makes sense, what use is a library when the target
|
||
audience is reluctant to use it. Keep up the good work.
|
||
|
||
Btw. if you need any other non-babelfish english -> german translations
|
||
just contact me.
|
||
|
||
best regards,
|

I have no problem with you licensing my contributed code for PhysFS to

the zlib licensing.

Hello. Sorry for delay in reply, things've been messed up for the last couple
|
||
while..
|
||
|
||
I think that changing it to the Zlib license is a great idea... never
|
||
realized there were those sort of complications with the LGPL - thought it
|
||
was a much less restrictive license than your plain vanilla GPL, but I guess
|
||
not less restrictive enough. I've no problem at all with you putting any of
|
||
the code I've contributed under the Zlib license.

Hi,
|
||
|
||
I have just read the news on icculus.org and I guess I'm one of the
|
||
two contributors you could not contact (at least I did not got any
|
||
mails from PhysicsFS mailing list for quite a while - so I did not
|
||
know what was happenning).
|
||
|
||
I really have no problems with this licence switch from LGPL to zlib
|
||
and I agree to sign all my contributions (qpak archiver, ruby bindings
|
||
and russian translations) under zlib.
|
||
|
||
I saw that you removed all my contributions from PhysicsFS - now that
|
||
I agreed to license change you could revert them.
|
||
|
||
-- Ed
|
||
|
||
P.S. I have mail on icculus.org - if you can't reach me I guess
|
||
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is always possible.
