X Strike Force X.Org X11 SVN property change: propchange - r131 svn:log
Author: branden
Revision: 131
Property Name: svn:log
New Property Value:
Restore removal of credits to Stephen Early, Mark Eichin, and ISHIKAWA
Mutsumi as package authors. Alter Debian "fallback" copyright notice to
credit copyright from changes in 1996 to Stephen Early, in 1997 to Mark
Eichin, and for the years since to Branden Robinson. In the U.S., a
written instrument is required to transfer copyright, and to the best of
my knowledge, none of Stephen, Mark, or myself ever signed such an
instrument. Remove anti-publicity clause from Debian fallback copyright
notice as it's not part of the original MIT/X11 license from the 1980s and
has no force under U.S. copyright law (asserting copyright in something,
even Free Software, doesn't waive a person's publicity rights anyway).
Remove duplicate Debian copyright notice for Software in the Public
Interest, Inc.
