hopefully we can move forward with this.
That's *really* great news :-)
To assign the copyright of all files to the FSF you need an OK of all
GDC contributors, right?
Not for the DMD front end.
Have you asked them yet?
If not, finding out who they were and getting a currenct E-Mail address
of them etc may need some time.. so it made sense if someone would start
doing that.
While the FSF will license the code back to Digital Mars, if the gdc folks
contribute code that is FSF copyrighted, I cannot incorporate that back into the
dmd front end.
In other words, any changes in gdc that affect the front end should be given to
Digital Mars, I will transfer the copyright to FSF, and get the license back.
Otherwise, I cannot fold in those changes.
