Cervisia licensing: moving forward?

[Ben Burton]

Hi again,

At this stage it seems that everyone is happy to go with a dual QPL/GPL
license for cervisia.  My question now is how to go forward with the change.

Thiago has written with the following instructions:

> If you people are ok with a dual license, then please place notices in
> all your files that the file is dual-licensed.
>
> Only the copyright holder can do that. Commit the changes to
> KDE_3_3_BRANCH, HEAD and ask Coolo for instructions on KDE_3_4_BRANCH.

The copyright holders whose names appear in the relevant sources are
Bernd Gehrmann, Christian Loose and André Wöbbeking.  Would it be
possible for each of you to make the relevant commits?  Coolo, do you
have any specific requests or instructions for KDE_3_4_BRANCH?

I'm not sure if Bernd Gehrmann still uses his CVS account.  Andras,
would it be in any way possible to find out if Bernd wishes to make
these changes himself, and if not to obtain some form of authorisation?
I'm not sure how formal the KDE project requires this to be, though I
expect an unsigned email would not suffice (since such a thing is easily
spoofed).  If anyone knows more about KDE policy on such matters then
their input would be appreciated.

For reference I've included a list below of files in KDE_3_4_BRANCH with
the relevant author names in the copyright headers.  I believe this
covers all the files in KDE_3_3_BRANCH as well, though there may be new
files in HEAD or the subversion_support branch; I haven't looked into those.
Note that no changes are needed for cervisia/cvsservice, since those files
are already LGPL.

Many thanks again to everyone for their help in this matter, and I
apologise for the tedium that accompanies it.

Ben.
