Somewhat addressed in trunk, needs more attention from someone who knows what we want to license the code under/holds copy write.
Setting the default assignee and QA Contact to "tomboy-maint@gnome.bugs".
Well, the print stuff at least is gone now, as well as contrast* from libtomboy. The rest should be updated to reflect that it is LGPL (if the COPYING file isn't clear enough).
Let me bump this. This might be either trivial (small changes) or a huge task (lots of contributors to bug). Anyway, this is a source only change and could really make it even into a bugfix release without affecting UI/l8n for now (code freeze is still some time ahead). This is nothing I can tackle though, since I'm new to the project. Anyone? Sandy..? ;)
Anything in libtomboy that starts with "tomboy*" is Copyright Alex Graveley and distributed under MIT/X11 license (in fact that may already be fixed). Is there anything else that needs to be fixed here, besides addresses?
*** Bug 652505 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
How critical is this bug? Is this something that we need to get on top of?
It's better that we try to get this done sooner than later. 14 bugs planned for 1.8.x and 78 bugs left over from previous milestones. Status is assigned, but to whom?
I do not feel comfortable trying to address this personally. I haven't looked into licensing at all and do not have a valid handle on OpenSource licensing or best practices. Do you think we could twist Sandy's arm and deal with this one bug?
I can handle this one, I'm familiar with Tomboy licensing.
Any news here?
