Are you *sure* you can change the license? (Score:1)

by btilly (5037)

In asserting a license you are asserting permission from the copyright holders. But you don't know whether you have that permission. And if you don't, then you are putting people in potential violation of the rights of people who are copyright holders.

In particular I happen to know that Tom Christiansen has been consistently vocal in his dislike of all things FSF, including the GPL. He takes extreme objection to the viral nature of the GPL, and even stronger objection to then calling the result "free".

  Seconded. I do remember tchrist being very explicitly not a fan of FSF/GPL. Please do ask his permission before relicensing his code.

    Or he could just use the Perl Artistic v2 that the PF lawyers poured over?
