I think we are OK with the change,\nas Chris points out. Here's more details about the complete\nlist of contributors to jgit, since the beginning of time.\n\n$ git log --pretty=format:%ae \\\n bsd jgit org.spearce.jgit org.spearce.jgit.test \\\n | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr\n 364 spearce@spearce.org\n 175 robin.rosenberg@dewire.com\n 21 dwatson@mimvista.com\n 8 me@lathund.dewire.com\n 2 rogersoares@intelinet.com.br\n 1 thadh@thad.corp.google.com\n\nNow I asked for consent from the top 3 (me, robin, dwatson).\nThe 4th one down (me@lathund.dewire.com) is also Robin. That\nleaves only Roger C. Soares and Thad Hughes as ever having\nmade a contribution to jgit, surviving line or not, and who\nwere not consulted specifically about the license change.\n\nThe total size of their deltas is:\n\n$ for u in rogersoares@intelinet.com.br thadh@thad.corp.google.com; \\\n do \\\n echo $u $(git log -p --author=$u bsd \\\n jgit org.spearce.jgit org.spearce.jgit.test \\\n | grep '^+' | wc -l); \\\n done\nrogersoares@intelinet.com.br 9\nthadh@thad.corp.google.com 5\n$ git log -p bsd | grep '^+' | wc -l\n 122576\n\nSo in all time these users have added a total of 14 lines between\nthem. Out of 122,576 total added lines. It amounts to only 0.011%\nof the total contribution. In the US a change this small may not\neven be copyrightable.\n\nObviously I am only counting + lines in patches. The - lines\nmay also have some value in certain contexts. But then we also\nget into the discussion of what is copyrighted. The patch or the\nfinal result?\n\nIn the 3 changes between Roger and Thad the patches were all very\nsmall. They are minor bug fixes that probably would come out the\nsame way no matter who wrote them. E.g. in one Roger deleted an\nextra \";\" at the end of a line (fixed \";;\" to \";\"). I'm not sure\nanyone else on Earth could have written that change differently.\n\nI hate to trivialize someone's contribution, but the reality is\nthat in jgit there are only 3 interesting authors at this time.\nAll were consulted about this license change, and all gave their\nconsent via a public posting to this mailing list.\n\n-- \nShawn.\n"},{"id":"77822","messageId":"46a038f90805261713y12bfa900j1ee2d99330f97bf9@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"13667","inReplyTo":"20080526234445.GF30245@spearce.org","subject":"Re: [ANNOUNCE] Java Git (aka jgit) has switched to 3-clause BSD","fromName":"Martin Langhoff","fromEmail":"martin.langhoff@gmail.com","sentAt":"2008-05-27T00:13:58Z","receivedAt":"2008-05-27T00:13:58Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"martin.langhoff@gmail.com","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/1e3f311b6c4c15836501901ca58f8c0b0667246488084ba524d8bc9867e22fd9?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 11:44 AM, Shawn O.

Very bad mistake.\n \n> Either we reintroduce mentioning GPL at the start or (you)\n> relicense the graph parts.\n\nIt is my intent to relicense any code I have written in jgit as\n3-clause BSD and any code I have written in egit as EPL. The EPL\nrelicense I didn't start the discussion thread for yet, but its\nwhere I am trying to go.\n\n> To what extent I still have code in there, I have no objections\n> to changing it to either EPL (or LGPL for consistency reasons).

It trivially makes us compatible with the\nEclipse foundation's own code and simplifies our project proposal\nwith them.\n \n> $ git ls-files -z |xargs -0 grep -l \"GNU G\"\n> org.spearce.egit-feature/feature.xml\n> \tinconsistent as mentioned above\n> \n> org.spearce.egit.core/COPYING\n> \tonly mentions LGPL\n> org.spearce.egit.core/src/org/spearce/egit/core/ResourceList.java\n> org.spearce.egit.core/src/org/spearce/egit/core/internal/storage/KidCommit.java\n> org.spearce.egit.core/src/org/spearce/egit/core/internal/storage/KidCommitList.java\n> org.spearce.egit.core/src/org/spearce/egit/core/internal/storage/KidWalk.java\n> org.spearce.egit.core/src/org/spearce/egit/core/op/CloneOperation.java\n> \tGPL licensed\n\nAny of this that I wrote, EPL please.\n\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/COPYING\n> \tonly mentions LGPL\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/CommitFileDiffViewer.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/CommitGraphTable.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/CommitMessageViewer.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/CommitNavigationListener.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/FileDiff.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/FileDiffContentProvider.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/FileDiffLabelProvider.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/GenerateHistoryJob.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/GitHistoryPage.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/GraphContentProvider.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/GraphLabelProvider.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/SWTCommit.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/SWTCommitList.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/SWTPlotRenderer.java\n> org.spearce.egit.ui/src/org/spearce/egit/ui/internal/history/SWTWalk.java\n> \tGPL licensed\n\nAny of this that I wrote, EPL please.
