I've been working quite a lot on git -> libgit2 code moving, but the licensing stuff is a bit depressing, as I can't know if the work I'm doing is for nothing or not.

The license decided for libgit2 is "GPL with gcc exception". Those who are OK with relicensing their contributions under that license for the purpose of libgit2, can you please say so?

I'm planning on writing a tool for this that will have "ok", "not ok" and "ask-each-patch" as options.

The list of people whose position I know is rather short. Please correct me if you're on it and would like not to be. Junio C. Hamano ask Johannes Schindelin ok Shawn O. Pearce ok Andreas Ericsson ok Pierre Habouzit ok Brian Gernhardt ok

I've put everyone who "owns" more than 500 lines of code on the bcc list, figuring your permission is important but that you don't want the hundreds (well, one can hope) of emails from people saying "ok". The list of major owners was generated with "git showners *.c" in a worktree from the next branch of git.git.
