Hi Norbert, I registered for an account on classmates and left a message for Michael DeCorte, the original author. He responded today to say:
-------------------------------- From: Michael DeCorte <.....................> Subject: res.sty To: Gavin McCullagh <.....................> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 17:15:27 -0800 (PST) Gavin, I am the original author of res.sty from 20 years ago. If it's of value to anyone that's great. However, I no longer have a copy of res.sty and to the best of my knowledge there is no official copy anywhere, I can't exactly publish a copy with an updated license. I have no issues if the license is updated to GPL http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html Michael DeCorte -------------------------------- So, it appears we can get it re-licensed. Would GPL be a suitable license for it to go into the upstream TeX tree? If not, can you suggest a more suitable one, and a list to which he can email a new version to get it updated in their tree. Once he publicly releases it, you can update your TeX Live packages with the new version and we won't lose the package. Gavin -- texmf-texlive/tex/latex/resume/res.cls seems to have incompatible license https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
