Hi,
I am 'Andy W P Guy' who wrote dpkg-ftp. My current email address
is
andy@cyteen.org. I am happy to re-licence the work I did as GPL-2 or
any future version of GPL.

Hi!
[ Bringing back this old thread, as there is still one unsolved item
from the old list, and realized afterwards that there were more
authors involved, not mentioned on the original thread, which I'd
like to have their answer on record to decide how to proceed in
the future. ]

I've cleaned up the license headers and added missing ones, as a side effect “licensecheck -r dpkg” works better now. There's still lots of copyright statements missing, I have a patch around to add few, but
every file takes time digging, and there's probably more urgent things
to tend to. I'd like to get all GPL code unified as GPL-2+,
eventually, though.
The remaining issues, which might need asking people around are:
* dselect/methods/Debian/Dselect/Ftp.pm: No header
dselect/methods/ftp/*: GPL (no version)
The dselect-ftp method from the dpkg-ftp package, states on its
debian/copyright file to be under the GPL-2 only. Ideally this
would have the same terms as the rest of the code base, in case
code needs to be reused for example.
As I dug up in the old dpkg-ftp history (which I imported into <https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg-ftp.git/> for analysis), there
were also Yann Dirson and Christian Hudon (both CCed). Would both of
you be fine with relicensing your changes there from GPL-2 to GPL-2+?
The last author for whom I have no contact details is Andy W.P. Guy,
but I'll try asking around.
Thanks,
Guillem
