Linus, could you please suggest a suitable license statement to include in whichever files of yours we choose to include in Darcs? Is David's suggestion (stock GPL boilerplate with ``or any later version'' removed) okay with you?

The last tag in darcs-unstable is 1.0.0rc2, which prevents me from publishing a partial repository in my web space. Perhaps you could pull a recent tag into darcs-unstable?

That would be great (let me know if you need an ssh public key).

I haven't thought about it yet. Does anyone have any ideas about how to efficiently pull from git without a complete local copy?

I'll reply to the more technical points below on darcs-devel -- no point in spamming the kind folks on git@ any further, especially as they probably know about
